Hi my name is Debb!! and I am 28 years old with a true passion for caregiving and supporting families. I find it deeply rewarding to be a helping hand to those who need it most, and I view every opportunity as a way to put my skills, compassion, and dedication into practice. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with a current BLS certification and over 8 years of hands-on experience working with patients. My goal is always to build trust with all family members, ensuring they feel cared for, respected, and valued. I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and cautious in following caregiver protocols, while also being quick to learn new procedures. Flexibility is one of my strengths, and I am available to step in as needed and adapt to changing schedules. In addition to my healthcare background, I also have experience as a babysitter and youth mentor!. I’ve worked with children in church worship groups, served as a chaperone on field trips, and created safe, nurturing environments where children feel supported and engaged. I am patient, loving, and a great listener, always striving to meet both the needs of parents and children. With my combined experience as a caregiver, Cna , and babysitter, I believe I would be an excellent fit for your family’s needs. My mission is not only to provide quality care but also to be a trusted friend who ensures your loved ones feel safe, supported, and cared for at all times. I also love animals! And have cats and dogs of my own so I know how important they are to the family. I can also help out with pet needs as well I also have my own car and can drive your kids to anywhere they need to be taken. I am a responsible driver and have experience of driving around people to where they need to be. I do it all the time. Rest assured I am a careful driver. I can also stay over night as well if you need someone to watch over your children. Let’s work together and make your lives easier! :)

Hi ! I'm Rina, and I provide childcare for children ages 1–13, as well as pet care services. Caring for children and animals has always been a natural part of my life. I come from a big family, so I've grown up surrounded by both ☺️ My childcare journey began at 10 years old when I learned how to care for my nephew, including changing diapers. By the age of 15, I was babysitting regularly, and I've been passionate about working with children ever since. Even at family gatherings, you'll usually find me spending time with the kids! Over the years, I've gained experience caring for children of different ages and personalities. I've also worked as a preschool teacher at the YMCA and completed child development coursework, which has strengthened my understanding of early childhood development. I enjoy creating engaging activities, supporting learning, and helping children build confidence, independence, and cognitive skills in a safe and nurturing environment. Whether you need a dependable nanny, babysitter, or someone to care for your furry family members, I'd love the opportunity to support your family. I look forward to meeting you and creating a positive, fun, and caring experience for your little ones!

Rina was great! She had so much energy that our son was smiling and giggling the whole time!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
