Sorng $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! I’m Kim — a caring, dependable Career Nanny with a little “Mary Poppins” magic! ☂️✨ My profile may still display my previous name, Sorng, but my name has been legally changed to Kimberly, and I go by Kim. I bring 27 years of combined childcare experience working with children from 6 weeks through school age. My background includes preschool teaching, professional nanny care, babysitting, and experience supporting children with special needs. I love creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. I enjoy bringing a little Mary Poppins creativity into each day through age-appropriate activities, arts and crafts, sensory play, outdoor adventures, reading, music, and educational activities tailored to each child’s interests and developmental stage. I’m comfortable with infant and toddler routines, including bottles and feeding, diapering, naps, bathing, dressing, meal and snack preparation, and light child-related housekeeping. I also have experience assisting families with sleep training and maintaining established household routines. Families describe me as patient, attentive, dependable, organized, and nurturing. I’m TrustLine certified and CPR/First Aid certified, and I take safety and communication with parents very seriously. Whether you’re looking for a regular nanny, occasional babysitter, date-night sitter, weekend care, or overnight care, I’d love the opportunity to bring dependable, loving care — and a little Mary Poppins magic — to your family. ☂️✨ Out of respect for my former employers’ schedules, I kindly ask that reference checks be made after 5:00 PM.

"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)."
