Hello, My name is Busisiwe, but I go by Busi. I am from South Africa and relocated to the United States in 2017 as an Au Pair, where I had the privilege of spending two enriching years with two wonderful host families, with whom I still maintain strong connections. In 2019, I began my studies in Child Development and Behavioral and Social Sciences, graduating in 2022. I have been working with children for 10 years. It all started when I volunteered at daycare and preschool centers during high school in South Africa. I later worked as an Au Pair, then as a nanny during college, and also spent a year as a Preschool Teacher to learn more about early childhood education. In my professional journey, I have gained valuable experience working with children with autism and ADHD. This aspect of my work is particularly close to my heart, and I have developed specialized skills to support and engage these children effectively. Currently, I work primarily with children who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (high-functioning) and ADHD, while taking a break from my degree in Occupational Therapy. This experience has deepened my understanding of the unique needs and strengths of children, enhancing my skills in creating supportive and engaging environments for their development. In my free time, I enjoy reading, singing, socializing with family and friends, hiking, and prioritizing physical fitness through regular workouts. Thank you for considering my profile. I look forward to the opportunity to connect further. Warm regards, Busi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SITTER POLICIES: 1.

As a childcare provider I offer Experience and enthusiasm. More about me: Since 2020 I have provided quality care to 12 families and 19 children ranging in age from 3 months to 11 years. I usually work with two families at a time, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I am currently looking for a new morning position, as I am fully booked on weekday afternoons. I am professional, consistent, reliable, dynamic and simultaneously fun/silly. In addition to keeping your children happy and safe my goal is to ease as many household burdens as possible before you get home.

Anna Kate has been working with us over the past 3 months as our nanny for our 2.5 year old daughter. Anna Kate is caring and conscientious in her care for our daughter and flexible in adjusting her approach to our particular preferences. She is also someone who we find cautious and trustworthy with respect to limiting risk of exposure to Covid-19. She is open with us about her exposures and was mindful of our safety. Anna Kate is invested in our daughters growth and development, working with her to teach her many new things and take her on outdoor adventures to the playground, dog park, kids space museum, parks, library, etc. Anna Kate encourages her to do arts and crafts, painting, chalk, water play, neighborhood walks, story time and music. We enjoy having Anna Kate care for our daughter. She is very helpful around the house and assists with grocery lists/shopping, cooking, laundry, dishes, organizing and cleaning.

Hi! I’m Ashly, a 19-year-old babysitter with 5+ years of experience working with kids from 4 months to 10 years old. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education at LACC with a focus on Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches. I really believe in letting kids learn through creativity and play. I started babysitting when I was 13 and have always loved working with children. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I also work weekday mornings at My Gym, where I help run kids’ fitness classes. I know some basic gymnastics skills and can definitely teach your little ones a few fun moves if they’re interested! I don’t drive yet, but I have reliable transportation and I’m currently training to get my license. I’m super dependable, patient, and always happy to help with routines, learning, or just keeping your kids busy and safe. Can’t wait to meet your family!

"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

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
