Susana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Susana, and I’m passionate about helping families and caring for children. I previously worked at KidStrong, where I helped kids build confidence, character, and brain development through fun activities. I’ve also babysat my siblings for many years, so caring for kids of all ages comes naturally to me. I’m not just a sitter,I love teaching, playing, and helping kids learn new things in a positive, safe environment. Child Care 👶 I’ve worked with children from toddlers to pre-teens and enjoy creating activities that help them learn and grow. Whether it’s reading, outdoor play, crafts, or simple learning games, I love keeping kids active and engaged. I can also help with meals, bedtime routines, and light homework. Pet Care 🐾 I have three dogs, a Golden Retriever, a Yorkie, and a Chihuahua, so I’m very comfortable with both big and small breeds. I can help with walking, feeding, and playtime. Animals bring me joy, and I treat every pet like my own. Household Services 🏡 I used to help my sister with her cleaning company, so I have experience in cleaning, organizing, doing laundry, and light meal prep. I can bring my own supplies if needed. While I’m happy to help with household tasks, my main priority is caring for your children and ensuring they’re safe and happy. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely enjoy what I do. I look forward to helping your family feel supported and cared for! 💛

"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)."
