Marla $22 per hour for 1 child

With more than 30 years of babysitting and childcare experience, I've had the privilege of caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Families describe me as dependable, patient, nurturing, and attentive. I understand that every child is unique, and I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Whether helping with homework, planning fun activities, preparing meals, maintaining routines, or providing loving care for infants, I bring a calm, responsible, and professional approach to every family I work with. My goal is to give parents peace of mind knowing their children are in caring and capable hands. I value open communication, punctuality, and building lasting relationships with families. If you're looking for an experienced caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and thrive, I would love the opportunity to work with your family. Marla

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
