I'm have recently started teaching at a preschool in the city. I feel so fortunate to have my dream job. In the past I have been a nanny, sitter, and tutor for many families. I am currently sitting on occasion. One of my most rewarding experiences has been teaching a child how to read. I like to be an active babysitter. To me this means minimal screen time and lots of different activities with the kids, such as, storytelling, building forts, drawing, and cooking/baking lessons. Outside of babysitting, I enjoy cooking, and reading (especially Historical Fiction and Non-fiction). I also love to draw and paint. My best/ideal Sunday (pre-Covid) usually starts with yoga and the Farmer's Market, and ends with a dinner party where I cook for all my closest friends. I have babysat for children outside of family/ family friends for about eight years. My most extensive babysitting/ nannying experience lasted about two years. I was a full time nanny for a little boy, and also helped prepare his slightly older sister for school and picked her up at the end of the day. I usually made breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the children and cared for them almost full time during the summer months. There were times when I cared for the children full time/ overnight when both parents were away/ traveled for work reasons. I have also traveled with families for holidays. I require full payment in case of a cancellation after I have accepted a sitting invitation.

Hi , My Name is Silvia and I’m looking forward to getting to know your family! I love working with children. They are so full of amazing energy and such a joy to be around. I am passionate about children because you can learn a lot from them, like how to enjoy the simple things in life. I have been working with children for the past 11 years. I have worked with all ages from newborn to 16 years old. I love working with children and getting to know them and their individual personalities. I also enjoy watching children grow and learn, helping them as they grow and face new challenges in school and life in general. Anyone who knows me can confirm my love for them. I know how important it is for a parent to trust someone with their kids I'm willing to gain your trust.

"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)."
