Arianna $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m an early childhood educator with over 7 years of hands-on experience supporting young children in both home and classroom settings. I love creating warm, engaging environments where children feel safe, curious, and excited to learn. My approach is rooted in play-based, Reggio-inspired learning, following each child’s interests while gently guiding their development, independence, and emotional growth. A little about what I offer: • Thoughtful, play-based daily activities • Kindergarten readiness & early learning support • Gentle guidance with emotions and behavior • Outdoor play and nature-based exploration • Light family assistance (organization, errands, child-related tasks) • Open, supportive communication with parents My rate is $30–42/hour, depending on the role and needs. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with both children and families, and I would love to find a family who values intentional, nurturing care. Looking forward to connecting with you!

"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)."
