Charmaine Los Angeles
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello, Charmaine and I am currently finishing my studies in early childhood care with Los Angeles Community College District: Learning 0 to preschool age. I have previously worked at the child care center for a few months and volunteered some time back for 6 months at a in-home child care facility. My initial experience comes from being the eldest of five siblings who are all of age now. My personal traits working with children is lead by honesty, patience, kindness and being optimistic. My studies have taught me the importance in observing every child's development as individuals. I am a great person for this job because I am a person that truly cares about a children beyond the books and structure in a classroom. I look at everything as a learning experience for toddlers, grade school and even teens. I also have experience for teaching dance for a three churches over 10 years from ages 5 and up: I truly care about our children of today. My talents are dancing, singing, drawing/painting and teaching. Teaching has been a natural trait of mine since I can remember. I was a also a caregiver for seniors for 2 years, I enjoyed caring and building relationships with my clients. Some I had to cook for, others I had to clean and ensure that they had everything they needed before my leave. Lastly, I spent my whole live caring for others and even in the difficult days which I'm sure there will be, I was still committed to helping them.

"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."

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)."
