Jayda $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have worked as a nanny, babysitter, daycare worker, summer camp counselor, and swimming instructor for children under the age of 14. At the daycare I worked as a floater and helped in all classrooms (ages 4 and below). However my favorite classroom to help in was the infant room. I also have nannying experience with older teenagers (12 - 16). I have been CPR certified in the past and am willing to get recertified. I used to be a lifeguard so I can teach your child how to swim. I can cook, clean, do laundry, and organize well. I love animals! I have had both dogs and cats in the past. I do not have experience with other kinds of pets but I am always willing to learn. I do not mind walking your pets or taking the kids to the park. I have a clean & valid driver's license. I love to sing and dance and I have no problem watching the same movie over and over again. Both of my parents are teachers and I value education and helping children learn. I can help them learn basic manners and help with homework. I enjoy open communication with parents and will follow any rules given.

"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."

"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)."
