Hello family My name is Geveve I’m 35 years old and I have 11 years experience working with children I love working with children and have enjoyed long-term relationships with several families. I believe each child is special and I work to bring out the best in each of them. I have experience with babies as young as 3 days old, toddlers, school age kids and teenagers. Busy families with multiple kids is my speciality. I have a lot of patience and work well under pressure. Parents describe me as responsible, reliable and easy to work with. Kids say I'm fun and creative. I keep kids engaged with activities both indoors and out, my philosophy is I believe children learn best through music art craft socializing. I have a clean driving record and am CPR and AED certified. Thanks for taking the time to learn a little bit about me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Geveve helped our family as our planned babysitter was sick--she accepted the job last minute and promptly arrived about an hour after booking. She jumped right in as a pro engaging with our 3 and 7 year old, they had a great evening together! Geveve was communicative and I would definitely book her for babysitting again!

"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)."
