Melody $22 per hour for 1 child

Hello families, My name is Melody, and I’m currently a teacher at a Reggio-based school. I have 6+ years of experience working with children ages 6 weeks to 10 years old. I am very familiar with Montessori and Waldorf teaching as well. My hobbies include reading sci-fi books, yoga, marathon running, collecting vintage vinyls, and cooking plant-based meals! My passion for teaching/babysitting stems from having a younger sibling who’s on the spectrum, with whom I share a 16-year age gap. I’m a very active and theatrical person, which children enjoy! Moving around, being animated, and getting to their level allow me to help children feel comfortable in my presence. I am CPR and first aid certified. I have a lot of experience with cats as well since I used to foster kitties and had a few of my own growing up! I’m very excited to meet and experience you all.

"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)."
