Hello! I’m Tatiana. I’m the eldest of 5, and my youngest sibling is 4 years old. We have so much fun– I love crafting, reading, drawing, and especially teaching them Spanish (I studied + tutored Spanish in university, would be happy to teach your kids too). I’ve watched babies as young as 4 months old, and enjoy working with toddlers and older kids alike :) I’ve interned at an occupational therapy clinic, working with kids on the autism spectrum and/or sensory sensitivities. I also love pet sitting, I’ve worked with adults with intellectual disabilities, and most recently worked at a retirement home. Basically, I can work with any and everyone! I’d be happy to meet you and your family to see if we’d make a good fit! 😄

Hi families! I am a nurturing, and reliable caregiver with over 9 years of experience supporting families and caring for children from newborns to teenagers. My journey began by caring for my own 4 siblings, which sparked a deep passion for creating safe, loving, and engaging environments where children can grow and thrive. I’m currently pursuing my degree in Mechanical Engineering. I’m also multilingual, fluent in English, Pashto, Urdu, and Farsi, with conversational skills in Arabic, Turkish, and German. I’ve completed my CPR training, studied child development courses and worked as a teaching assistant at an elementary school and preschool, which has given me valuable insight into children’s growth and learning. I understand how demanding parenting can be, and it’s always been my goal to support parents by offering peace of mind, flexibility, and trustworthy care. I offer a wide range of support, including: Childcare: - Engaging kids in safe, fun, educational activities suited to their age and interests. - Experiments (like baking soda volcanoes!), arts and crafts, and team games like “Freeze Dance” and more. - Multilingual storytelling to support language development. Pet-Care: Experience with cats, dogs, and parrots in feeding, walking, or playtime. Housekeeping/ Household Care: Cleaning, errands, laundry, shopping, cooking/meal prep (including dietary needs), medication reminders, and more. I approach every family’s needs different with kindness, care, and flexibility. I am always open to feedback and focused on creating the best possible experience for families and loved ones. Thank you for considering my profile and reading. I’d love to connect and learn how I can support your family. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to chat!

Experienced Preschool Teacher | CPR & First Aid Certified | 10+ Years of Childcare Experience Hi! I'm Priscilla, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I have over 10 years of experience caring for children from infants to 12 years old, including working as a preschool teacher and an afterschool teacher. My experience has taught me how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, dependable, patient, and genuinely love working with kids. Whether we're reading stories, making crafts, playing outside, helping with homework, or following a bedtime routine, I strive to make every child feel happy, engaged, and cared for. I understand how important it is for parents to know their children are in good hands, so I always communicate openly and treat every family with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I'm currently continuing my education in child development because I'm passionate about growing my career in early childhood education. Working with children isn't just a job to me—it's something I truly enjoy. If you're looking for someone experienced, reliable, and caring who will keep your child safe while making their day fun and enriching, I'd love to connect with you. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a phone or FaceTime call. I look forward to meeting your family!

"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)."
