Hello! My name is Jesus and I am a caring, responsible, and dedicated woman with over six years of experience working with young children in a preschool setting, as well as four years of experience providing care for an elderly woman. I have extensive experience caring for children ages 18 months to 4 years old. My responsibilities have included diaper changes, potty training support, preparing and guiding age-appropriate activities, helping with daily routines, and creating a safe, loving, and positive environment where children can learn and grow. As a mother of two children, ages 17 and 19, I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their children are receiving patient, respectful, and attentive care. I truly enjoy spending time with children and supporting their development while encouraging their independence, creativity, and confidence.

Bimala $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I am Bimala, originally from Nepal with a background in teaching and more than four years of hands-on babysitting experience with mainly infants and toddlers, I provide more than supervision- I offer engaging educational avtivities, and enchantment of storytelling. Comfortable with light cooking and household tasks, I create a safe and stimulating environment. Moreover, the best part of being a babysitter is earning while doing things that I love, like spending time with kids, teaching them new words, and helping them with overall development.

"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)."
