Rita 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Rita, and I have over 15 years of experience working in child care, including extensive experience caring for toddlers and infants. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and develop confidence. Throughout my career, I have supported children's social, emotional, and developmental needs through age-appropriate activities, positive guidance, and strong communication with families. I am patient, reliable, and dedicated to helping each child reach their full potential while ensuring their well-being and happiness every day.

“I highly recommend Rita as a babysitter and childcare provider. She helped care for my children for over 15 years, from infancy through their toddler years and beyond. During that time, she was consistently reliable, caring, patient, and attentive to their needs. She created a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for my children and treated them with kindness and respect. I always felt confident leaving my children in her care because she was dependable, responsible, and genuinely cared about their well-being and development. Her experience with infants, toddlers, and young children is exceptional, and she has a natural ability to connect with children of all ages. I am grateful for the care and support she provided to my family over the years, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy and experienced babysitter.”

"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)."
