Hi, I’m Clarence! I’m a patient, dependable, and attentive caregiver with several years of professional direct-care experience supporting individuals with special needs. My work has included assisting with daily routines, organizing recreational activities, monitoring safety and well-being, and remaining calm during challenging situations. I also have experience working with K–8 students, providing instruction, encouragement, and guidance while creating a positive and engaging environment. I have grown up around both dogs and cats and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleanup, and following each pet’s established care routine. I also have hands-on experience caring for Deuce, a large dog who requires consistency, attentiveness, and careful adherence to his owner’s instructions. Whether I’m caring for a child or a pet, I prioritize safety, patience, communication, and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their family is away.

Thank you for being flexible and taking care of Deuce while I am away.

Hello! My name is Kamaiyah, and I’m currently a senior at Miami Dade College, pursuing my degree while offering reliable and compassionate child care, senior care, and household services. I have over five years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged kids, including twins. My caregiving journey began when I was 16, and since then, I’ve developed a strong passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive in a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Throughout my experience, I’ve supported families by managing daily routines, assisting with schoolwork and tutoring, organizing crafts and creative projects, supervising swim lessons, and even teaching basic dance. I’m known for being patient, dependable, and enthusiastic, with excellent communication skills and a genuine love for helping others. In addition to child care, I also provide senior companionship and household assistance. Whether it’s light cleaning, meal preparation, or running errands, I’m always happy to lend a hand to make life easier and more enjoyable for the families I work with. I take pride in creating positive, caring relationships built on trust and respect. My goal is to provide quality care that meets each family’s unique needs while ensuring every child and individual feels valued, supported, and safe.

"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)."
