Saron $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Saron, and I genuinely love working with children. I graduated from Georgia State University with a degree in Early Childhood Special Education, and I’ve spent two years working hands-on with kids in both educational and home settings. My background has taught me how to support children of different personalities, learning styles, and developmental needs with patience, empathy, and structure. I’m naturally warm, responsible, and attentive. I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, explore, and feel supported. Whether it’s helping with routines, guiding positive behavior, planning activities, or simply being a dependable presence, I show up with care and consistency. I look forward to meeting families who want someone they can trust and feel comfortable with. Caring for kids is something I truly enjoy and I’m excited to be a helpful part of your child’s day.

"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)."
