Hi! My name is Lakeitha, and I’m an energetic, outgoing, and dependable babysitter with over 3 years of hands-on childcare experience. I have a genuine passion for working with and teaching youth, and I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel safe. As a proud auntie of three younger children, caring for kids comes naturally to me both personally and professionally. I am comfortable working with children from newborns to 6 years old and have experience creating engaging, age-appropriate learning activities, maintaining routines, and providing a nurturing, positive environment. I am CPR and First Aid certified and am also comfortable assisting with light household services, such as tidying play areas, children’s laundry, meal prep, and maintaining an organized space related to childcare. I’m patient, attentive, and love building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I would be delighted to be considered by your family and look forward to providing reliable, loving care you can trust.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
