$20 per hour for 1 child

I provided part-time and full time babysitting for multiple families, caring for children ranging from toddlers to elementary school age. My responsibilities included supervising playtime, preparing simple meals, helping with homework, and following bedtime routines. I created a safe and nurturing environment, communicated regularly with parents, and handled unexpected situations with calmness and responsibility. This experience helped me develop strong patience, time management, and problem-solving skills, which continue to shape the way I work with children today.

Booked by 1 family in Washington, DC

Hi! I’m Noemy. I’m a graduate of high school with a GED degree in 2014, I obtained a CDA certificate, and I have CPR training. I speak intermediate English and Spanish. And I have 6 years of experience working at a daycare. I’m from El Salvador and love to dance! I mainly have experience with infants and toddlers, and I know all the development domains there are. One thing I like to honor is that the kids are my priority and I’m proud to take on the responsibility of caring for them. In the end, I think I’m well versatile to care for the kids and be useful in helping them with any problems they have, thanks to the training I received I feel ready to start working and taking care of the kids. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, I’m completely open to any clarification if you need it, and I’ll be happy to hear from you and start working together.

"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)."
