Hi! My name is Christine, I am the oldest out of 5 children, with a mother who is a labor and delivery nurse--so I've grown up being taught about how to deal with children from a young age and have plenty of personal experience working with kids through my younger siblings, extended family, and previously being my church's Sunday school teacher. I also have over 10 years of professional childcare experience and have worked in varying capacities as a nanny, family assistant, children’s art class assistant and sitter. I am trustline certified along with taking childcare courses, have a valid driver’s license and have received cpr & first aid training. I enjoy hobbies like reading, writing, and music and love sharing these things with kids. I have been active on Urbansitter since 2016 and have had the pleasure of working with 100s of families within this time. • Also I am not allergic to any pets and have no issues working with families with friendly furry friends ☺️ *I typically have a 5 hour minimum* **rates vary based on distance and number of children **

I love children and children love me. I’m very lucky and blessed, children are enchanted with me and we naturally delight in each others company. I am a highly trained caregiver in providing for your child’s mental, emotional and physical needs. I bring over 25 years of practical experience with children, from infancy through teenage-hood. I’ve had unique opportunities of working with children ranging in needs from being deemed extremely gifted to being a patient in a lock-down psychiatric ward. It’s important to me that children are given the opportunity to and learn to cultivate their ability to: thrive, be resilient, express themselves fully, develop high levels of self-efficacy & self-worth, love and be loved. I love to play! I’m crafty, artsy, musical, adventurous, active, happy and have great boundaries! Children naturally love me, this makes my job very easy. 😍 (I’ve also worked as a private chef, caterer, and personal assistant.) Some of my experiences with children include: -2 summers of teaching K-5 Science and Art for summer school, 4 yrs of substitute teaching, 2.5 years teaching pre-school for 3'-4's, 2yrs as aTiger Cub 'mom', 2 years I ran a Children's Crisis Shelter, 4 yrs I worked in a lock-down Psychiatric Children's Facility. I was a licensed Respite Care Provider and Foster Parent. I contracted with Child Protective Services for 5 years. I created a program working with Autistic boys (1 yr), for 4.5 years I was a Family Builder Specialist and Program Manager, for 2 yrs I was a Child Developmental and Behavioralist Specialist. I have been a temporary, part time, and full time nanny and sitter for over 20years. Over Covid lockdown I ran a private school and course for grades k&1. I volunteer with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Adventure Scouts, food kitchens, Women’s DV shelters... Using my expertise in emotions, I teach classes for parents (and also for children) on empowerment, emotional development and intelligence, transformation, and self efficacy/esteem. ** Please note that I have cancellation policy - if you cancel a booking with in a week of, I charge a $50 cancellation fee or 50% of the booking, whichever is higher. After having several last minute cancellations I’ve had to implement this policy, thank you for understanding! **

Hello, I’m a passionate caregiver with experience with children and youth ages 0-14. I’ve worked in home and at several different preschools, elementary and middle schools. Some of my experience includes supporting children with medical appointments, camps, after school programs, and assisting with various therapeutic lessons. My responsibilities have included morning wake up and evening bedtime routines, activity planning, homework support, bathing, cooking, light cleaning, and transporting children to and from programs and appointments. I’ve also supported educational environments with special education assistance along with art and STEAM activity planning. I piloted an afterschool inclusion program and have implemented a wide array of behavioral intervention strategies. Some words previous children have used to describe me are loving, caring, thoughtful, respectful and uplifting.

Hi there! I'm Amal, and I absolutely love spending time with kids. There's something truly rewarding about helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, caring environment. Whether it's playing games, assisting with homework, or simply being a good companion, I strive to create a positive, supportive atmosphere where kids feel comfortable and valued. I have 25 years of babysitting experience, having worked with children of various ages from infants to pre-teens. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable skills in managing routines, keeping kids entertained, and handling any unexpected situations that may arise. I am also experienced in meal preparation, light housekeeping, and ensuring kids stick to their schedules. I also have a background in child development, so I’m able to adapt my approach to suit each child’s needs, ensuring they feel supported and engaged. I’m a responsible, patient, and reliable sitter who believes in providing both fun and structure. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your family to discuss how I can help. I’m allergic to dogs but happy to work with family with cats. I have been a caretaker for my own parents and I am comfortable with senior care. Can drive to appointments,shopping and cook for them. Looking forward to hearing from you!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
