20+ years of professional experience & ECE Degree. I am safe, loving and love to teach and help children explore. Some things of importance to me as a person/nanny are freedom, transparency, quality time, positivity and encouragement both things I give and like to receive. I am open minded and have been told my communication skills are sincerely appreciated. I enjoy making up new stimulating activities for children of all ages, and diving into their world with them! I take a customized approach based on how your child learns and likes/dislikes, I love being goofy 😜 . I don’t believe in ‘forcing’ anything and love to create a strong bond of mutual respect and trust . I practice positive discipline regardless of age or situation and don’t believe in hitting or yelling belittling/shaming and will ONLY raise my voice if it’s keeping your little one away from danger (fire,cars, sharp objects). I can cook, meal prep, run errands, laundry, I love cleaning but your child will ALWAYS be my number one priority! I’ve always been expected to tidy/clean whilst caring for little ones so I build that into my routine (often talking your child through it with me or having them help me with small tasks) I do have experience with special diets (soy free/gluten free/dairy free, vegan/vegatarian, halal) and allergies. First hand Epi pen experience. Experience with seizures ♾️🧩Physical disability, Anxiety, extensive Autism & ADHD experience! Positivity, Safety, creating a bond of trust with you and your child(ren), singing & dancing! Genuinely engaging your child in stimulating activities such as art and music , creative play, walking in nature, reading and writing , celebrating your child’s wins no matter how big or small, and just letting kids be kids is what I’m all about. 😉 *Cleaning & Organizing Aficionado* 🎨Arts & Crafts Guru who will bring supplies for special projects. 🎤 I love singing and will often use music as a tool for daily activities that your child may struggle with. 🚗 Access to reliable vehicle Acura TL or Honda Accord (insured) 🧼 🫶🏼 washing hands frequently 🩺 Infant CPR certification expired but will renew it upon request. * IF IM IN DOUBT ON WHAT YOUR WISHES WOULD BE IN ‘XYZ’ SITUATION I WILL CONTACT YOU IMMEDIATELY & if not available then use my best judgement.

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!

Hi, My name is Irina. I an a 2nd year nursing student. I bring toys, coloring books and balloons so that children don't get bored and have something new to wonder about and play with. It also helps with separation anxiety. I take my time to talk to them and explain questions they might have, or matters regarding discipline. I am familiar with being cautious when it comes to allergies. I have my driver's license and I am CPR certified. I am looking for occasional babysitting jobs. Thank you so much and I am looking forward to working for your family.

Hi, I'm Sandra, a 25-year-old caregiver with a passion for playing and taking care of kids. From a young age, I’ve always loved spending time with children, ensuring they are happy, safe, and engaged. I’m dedicated to providing a nurturing and fun environment for your little ones. Whether it's reading stories, playing games, or helping with homework, I’m here to support your family's needs.

Sandra was right on time and immediately got to reading a book with my 15 month old daughter. When I got back a few hours later, my daughter had eaten well, our home looked great, and my daughter gave Sandra a hug goodbye! We had a great experience with Sandra and I'd love to work with her 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)."
