Bruna $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, how are you ? I'm a warm and nurturing nanny with 10 years of experience working with kids from all ages looking for a new position starting soon. I have the covid and flu shot updated. I'm non-smoker and pet friendly. My last two jobs I was taking care of 1 baby girl 6mo, before that I was taking care of 2 little girls for 2 years in a great relationship, now they are 4 and 6yo so I have the experience in taking care of two kids at time. I love to help children learn and explore in a safe, warm, and joyful environment. My favorite activities are in the outdoors, take the kids to the playground, library, storytime, scramble, explore parks/gardens to do picnic and observe animals/nature every time the weather allows, organize playdates and every other appropriate activity that will help them improve their abilities. At home I love to have music around and encourage the kids to play on their owns to help them develop their imagination and independence but always around and participating too. I also enjoy games, puzzle, build with blocs, legos etc. I consider myself a very friendly, responsible, caring, kind and loving person. I am comfortable performing light housekeeping, meal prep, changing diapers and others negotiable duties. I'll be happy to provide references so please let me know if you would like to set up a time for a call to discuss the details. Hope to hear from you soon.

"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)."
