My responsibilities have included engaging children in creative activities, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and maintaining a clean and organized space. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive, and I always aim to make both children and parents feel comfortable and secure. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks when needed.

I like working with children because I find it very interesting and enjoy my work. At the moment I am working with a child with autism, he is 19 years old, I teach him to live independently, cook his own food, clean up after himself, do homework after classes at college, behave well in public places.

Estelle $25 per hour for 1 child

I have over 13 years of hands-on childcare experience, beginning with babysitting my own younger brother and sisters from the time they were born. In addition to caring for my siblings, I have also babysat children throughout my neighborhood, gaining experience with kids of different ages and personalities. I truly love children, and they naturally connect with me. I believe that mutual trust and affection make all the difference in caregiving. I am patient, kind, dependable, and I treat everyone around me with respect. I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and happy. I am trilingual and enjoy engaging children through conversation, play, and quality time. Caring for children is something I genuinely enjoy, not just a responsibility, and I always strive to support their well-being while giving parents peace of mind.

"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."

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)."
