Alycia 4 reviews
$17 per hour for 1 child

As a mom of four and experienced caregiver, I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your children. I have hands-on experience with infants through school-aged kids and currently provide both overnight newborn care and daytime childcare. I’m patient, attentive, and love engaging kids through play, learning, and routine. My CNA background helps me stay calm, safe, and detail-oriented in all situations. I’m reliable, organized, and treat every child as if they were my own while supporting families with light household tasks when needed.

Alycia assisted me with my newborn during my second and third months postpartum. Alycia was exceptionally caring and patient. She followed all of my instructions diligently, providing me with the peace of mind necessary to get much-needed rest while knowing my baby was in excellent hands. Her responsibilities included monitoring, feeding, changing, and caring for my baby overnight. Additionally, she prepared bottles and ensured that all items used were washed and ready for the next day. I truly appreciated Alycia’s caring personality and the high level of support she provided our family.

"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)."
