Gladys $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Gladys, aka Friday and I have over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages. My love for childcare started with helping raise my nieces and nephews, and it has grown into something I truly enjoy and take pride in every day. I currently work with HopSkipDrive, where I safely transport children to and from school and after-school activities. I’m very mindful about safety, punctuality, and making kids feel comfortable during every ride. I’ve also completed training to support children with autism, and I currently provide in-home, after-school care for autistic children. This has helped me become even more patient, understanding, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. In addition to childcare, I run my own catering business, which has strengthened my responsibility, time management, and attention to detail. Families I work with describe me as dependable, respectful, and hardworking. I truly care about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel supported and happy. I am CPR certified and always bring a positive attitude and strong sense of responsibility to every family I work with. I would love the opportunity to care for your children and become someone you can trust and rely on.

"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)."
