Escarlet $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Escarlet, and I’m an experienced babysitter with a genuine love for working with kids! I’ve helped raise my younger siblings, cared for children at weddings, and even looked after my best friend’s little ones for a few months. I’m also CPR and CNA certified. I enjoy making babysitting fun with creative activities, like crafts, helping with homework and making it fun, reading stories, going to the park, picnics. I’m patient, responsible, and always prioritize the safety and happiness of the children I care for. I’m also experienced in senior care, I have a year of experience working in a memory care nursing facility.

"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)."
