Chefara $27 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring and energetic nanny who loves spending time with little ones of all ages, from infants to busy toddlers and adventurous teens. I’m comfortable with multiples. I’m gentle and patient with feedings, naps, and routines, and I enjoy helping kids learn through play, creativity, sensory exploration, movement, repetition, story time, art, music, and outdoor fun. I love supporting families in more ways than one by helping keep the home clean, organized, and running smoothly whether that’s light housekeeping, child related laundry, meal prep, pick up/ drop off, grocery shopping or errands. My goal is to offer boots on the ground and be that extra set of hands while creating a safe, loving environment where your children continue to thrive. I’m flexible, available during the day and occasional date nights, seeking long term and full time position. Open to commuting and traveling with families when needed.

"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."

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)."
