I am a mom of two grown children and reside in New Rochelle. I have been providing childcare for over 20 years and have many references. I am fun, energetic, reliable and responsible and posess a current CPR certificate. I have a new car and clean driving record. I enjoy caring for and spending time with children of all ages. I am fully vaccinated and love animals ! I also have other qualified sitters that join with me and offer childcare for larger events such as weddings or other occasions. God bless

Debi was GREAT - both my kids were home last minute due to their school shutting down unexpectedly. And both of them were fully engaged by Debi for the entire three hours that she was with us and did not once feel like they needed to come find me in the house as I was working from home. I would definitely have Debi with my children again anytime.

My name is Precious, I am from Durban, South Africa. I studied Clinical psychology at the University of the Western Cape. I am a lover of beautiful things, especially nature, and food! I love swimming, hiking and any fun outdoor activities. I also do enjoy a good movie indoors! And I absolutely love children. I think children are the most important people in the world, they have so much to learn and have the ability to change our society for the better, because they are the future. I majored in Child Psychology in University, and child development has always excited me. Shaping and grooming young children to be the best human beings they can be in future is so important, well at least it is to me personally. My personal experience with child care has come with learning the skill of patience! Children need patience, and also teach you as an adult to be patient, as well as multitasking. The most important things to me are my family, and my well being. The well being of the people around me is also very important to me, having an impact or playing a role in the well being of people around me makes me the happiest. I really look forward to meeting you, and thank you for taking your time reading my profile.

Booked by 4 families in West Haven, CT

Hi! I’m Alexandria, I’m 21 years old going to be an upcoming senior majoring in Business and Theater arts with a Spanish minor. I am a fun, responsible, and caring babysitter with over 5 years of experience. My caregiving experience started early through helping with my mother’s licensed daycare, where I assisted with children from infancy to elementary age. Along with caring for my younger siblings and my newly born nephew, I’ve developed strong skills in multitasking, creating engaging activities, such as playing with toys, bringing out their creative side with arts and craft and also handling a range of child needs. I’m CPR/AED/First Aid certified for both children and adults. I can cook, clean, drive, and I’m conversational in Spanish making me a flexible and dependable caregiver. I love creating a positive, safe, and enriching environment for kids whether that’s helping with homework, planning activities, or reading bedtime stories. I’m committed to making each family feel supported, respected and safe leaving their children with me. In my free time I like to read, play video/pc games, go shopping, explore new places, do self-care, dance, cook/bake, workout and make videos here and there. I am very outgoing and enjoy being outdoors. I’m excited to get to know your little ones and you as well! Feel free to reach out!

I’m a patient person. I enjoy being surrounded by kids. I have 6 years experience in the field. I believe children are the most beautiful gift someone can ever receive. I like to educate my littles pumpkins, what’s better than taking good care and educate them at the same time. I’m bilingual Spanish-English and I’m always open to teaching them my native language which is Spanish if the parents are comfortable with it. Feel free to contact me at any time.

Jioelenny was fantastic! We knew the instant that she showed up that our daughter would be comfortable with her. Jioelenny got right down to her level and greeted her, and our daughter seemed so happy and excited. Jioelenny has a lot of experience as a full-time Nanny and this definitely showed.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
