Claire $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi all! My name is Claire, I’m 24 years old, and I’ve spent the past 10 years working with children of various ages. I worked as an overnight camp counselor for 9 & 10 year olds for two years, and then as a day camp counselor for Kindergartners for four years. Before starting to work in non-profit, I spent a year working as a full-time nanny for a family of two boys aged 4 and 6. For the last three years, I have been working in the Non-Profit sector with kids of various ages. I spent a year with the AmeriCorp organizing an enrichment program for homeless youth, and my specific site cared for about 10 kids aged K-6. Since then, I have been working at another organization as a Lead Youth Mentor to plan and lead an after school program for underprivileged school-aged kids. This job has also allowed me to spend time in Early Childhood Education, where I have received my ECE, first aid, and Mandated Reporter certificates. I have a year of experience working with toddlers, a year of experience working with Pre-K, and some experience with infant care. I have a valid US diver’s license and car, and have years of experience in teaching English/Reading comprehension for both pre-school and school-aged children, STEM curriculum/activity planning, tutoring (up to high school age primarily), arts organizing, and emotion coaching. Additionally, I adore animals (excluding maybe spiders), and would love to care for family pets as well! I have truly enjoyed working with children of all ages in such different settings over the past decade and would love to meet some new families! Please don’t hesitate to reach out and share what goals and expectations you have for the position—working with kids has definitely taught me to be patient and flexible.

"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."

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)."
