I love working with kids, and pets! Helping kids with their development, teaching them new things, or just having a good time and a lot of laughter. I’m trustworthy, thoughtful, warm, friendly and attentive. I’m a good listener and I’m patient, I try to understand how the kids are feeling, dealing with big emotions I have master degree from Poland - Master of Arts, currently studying in BCC Digital Imaging and going to apply for internship after end of Spring semester June 2025 - I’d like to babysit till then I’m fully vaccinated for covid 19 and have all regular vaccines. I have a lot of childcare experience (more than 7 years full time, plus part time). I’ve read some child development articles or books as needed, I love Montessori philosophy. Some examples of experience: Babies: I used to read, go outside for walks, teaching to walk and speak first words, singing songs, dancing to the music, playing with toys, feeding and bathing, bedtime routine. Toddlers: I was full time babysitter for two sets of sibling 2 and 5 y.o., twins 3.5 y.o., currently the baby I took care of is a toddler as well 😀 (2 years old) 2[removed] I was au pair in USA for two years. I have had amazing time taking care of kids age 2-10 years old, also babies as babysitter back in Poland. I have experience of taking care of 3 kids at the time. I’m reliable and make sure everyone is safe. I have 5,5 years of full time experience with babies and toddlers, and couple more years before that I was babysitting part time as well or supervising art classes in Poland as an Art High School student. I was responsible for getting the kids ready to school, feeding, driving to activities, playing educational games, arts and crafts, giving them a bath, cooking for them, doing their laundry and housework related to them. I had a great bond with all kids. I have master degree in arts and I’m happy to do art activities with children. I’m also active and love hiking, I often play with kids outside, in the park. As an au pair I had my background checked and was trained for cpr and first aid. Received professional one week training of child development and cpr in New York before starting. Pets: Iva had dogs and cats, most of experience with breeds like Saint Bernards, GSD, Golden Retriever, Shih tzu and more. I currently have a GSD/Malinois mix Rocky and love him to pieces 😃 Open to drop by or dog sit My other hobbies than art are rock climbing and I’m currently training for SF marathon

"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)."
