Responsible and caring childcare provider with extensive experience working with children from elementary through middle school. I currently teach Bible lessons at my church, where I lead group activities, organize games, and provide snacks in a fun and supportive environment. I’ve also worked as a counselor for both middle schoolers and elementary students, helping guide and mentor them through engaging activities and positive encouragement. In addition, I babysit for family friends, ensuring their child is safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m dependable, friendly, and attentive, with the ability to cook, clean, and provide reliable transportation for pick-ups and drop-offs.

Iliana 1 review
$28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Iliana (Illy), and I offer reliable childcare and household support for families looking for someone responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring. I have experience working with children ages 3–12 through after-school programs, summer camps, and daycare settings. I’m also comfortable caring for infants through teenagers (up to 15) from experience through my own family. My experience includes supervising daily routines, engaging kids in activities, maintaining a safe environment, and supporting structured schedules. In addition to childcare, I also provide household help, including light cleaning, cooking, and running errands. I’m organized, dependable, and respectful of family routines and expectations. I’m a cat lover and very comfortable working in homes with cats. I am comfortable with dogs but they can be super needy sometimes, haha. My availability is weekday mornings and full days on weekends up to 7 PM, and I’m happy to discuss consistent schedules or specific needs. I take trust seriously and aim to be someone families can rely on and feel comfortable welcoming into their home.

Iliana is a very trustworthy babysitter, and I would definitely recommend her.

"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)."
