$25 per hour for 1 child

Qualified teacher with experience in foundation phase. I have worked with young children during my teaching practice and also when I had a tutoring program offering help with homework to all age groups in the foundation phase. I have experience with newborn, infants, toddlers,preschoolers and school age. I love kids and working with them. I was coaching athletics,soccer, tennis, and cricket for the past three years, while I was studying. I believe that working with children for me is a calling and not just passion. I love sports and anything to do with fitness, even went to England to represent my country 5 years ago. I would appreciate working with your child and believe that my presence will bring a smile to their young face.

“My daughter loves her. She has done such a phenomenal job and is a very well rounded person. Great with children, it is evident when around kids that it is her passion.”

Hi, I’m Perri. I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages, including a family of three with a special needs child.

I love making kids feel safe, supported, and truly entertained. My own childhood was full of fun, and I aim to bring that same joy into the lives of the kids I care for. Whether we’re doing bedtime routines, snacks, games, or homework, I always bring positive energy and genuine connection! Families value my professionalism, calm presence, and strong communication.

"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)."
