Me and my family love camping, traveling, going to the beach and just enjoying nature. I also have my own car with clean driving record and insurance, I would be willing to use for transportation of the children if needed.l am a nonsmoking . I have been taking care of children for over 8 years. My first professional babysit job was helping my brother took care of his daughter from 12 months to 4 years old, since my brother and his wife were working and going to college.

Tina $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello- My name is Tina and I am a fun-loving person who adores infants, toddlers, school age kids, and yes, teens, too. I am able to provide full time care, even live-in if available (I have a small well-behaved cat who is very shy), and I have a knack for making learning fun and interesting for everyone and I make activities age appropriate. I am GREAT with infants and love helping them get through all the different stages and phases they go through and I have amazing patience. I don't mind running some errands, doing some laundry, cleaning the house in general, assisting with dogs and/or cats, and I pick up after myself. I'm very energetic and am a positive person.

"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)."
