Hello, my name is Marleen. Although I’m only 19 years old I am very experienced with taking care of children with care and lots of patience. I just got on this app which is why I have few reviews but I’ve been babysitting for about two years now. I am an older sister of three siblings 14, 12, and 9 years old. I have been surrounded with kids/ babies my whole life. At just the age of nine I was in charge of taking care of my siblings. I would and still take care of them on a daily basis. I know that at times things could get chaotic but I am the best fit for that task. I have also babysit for my fellow friends and family members. I could also pet sit if that’s needed. If you need help with chores around the house I’m willing to help too but with a raise. If there is any specific things needed to do I will be gladly to do them. I am very familiar with soccer, track, xc, and basketball as I played all these sports in high school. I love to stay active! Services Offered -Infant & toddler care -Homework help -Meal & snack prep -Light cleaning -Fun activities & games Why Choose Me? -Responsible & reliable -Great with kids -Experience with children (family & more) -Caring and patient

"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)."
