Sandy $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sandy . I am 20 years old and currently a full-time college student. I currently work with children in an after-school program at Lucille M. Nixon Elementary School, where I care for kids from kindergarten through 5th grade. Through this role, I have developed strong skills in patience, responsibility, creativity, and communication while helping create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children of different ages. In addition to my current job, I also have previous experience working with children through tutoring, which has strengthened my ability to support students academically while making learning engaging and enjoyable. When i’m not at school or work I help my mom with her duties as well, I help her with her housekeeping services and also take care of my infant niece who just turned 1 year old. This has given me valuable hands-on experience caring for an infant and has helped me become even more nurturing, attentive, and dependable. I would describe myself as very crafty, loving, fun, and adventurous. I enjoy creating activities that keep children engaged, encourage creativity, and make learning exciting. My caring personality allows me to build positive connections with children while also maintaining a responsible and trustworthy presence. I am also fluent in Spanish, which allows me to communicate with Spanish-speaking families and children effectively. Being bilingual gives me the ability to tutor or assist with Spanish if needed. Overall, my experience, energy, and passion for working with kids make me someone who truly enjoys helping children learn, grow, and feel supported.

"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)."
