Isabela $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Isabela, I’m 27 years old, and I have 4+ years experience as a nanny full-time and 3 more years prior as a babysitter. My experiences are from newborns to 12 years old, and I also have experience with multiple kids. I love engaging in everything related to the kids: reading books, playing games together, going to the park, being outside. I have CPR and First Aid certification, and I also am a strong driver. A little about me: I'm originally from Brazil and moved to America early 2023 to be an Au Pair. I graduated in Journalism back in Brazil, and I speak English, Portuguese and Spanish fluently. In my free time I love spending quality time with my friends, traveling and trying new coffee shops. People often describe me as calm, determined, mature and friendly. I can provide references and background check if needed. Please feel free to send me a message if you think we might be a good fit - and I’m also happy to answer any questions you have!

"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)."
