Leslie $17 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leslie, I’m 20 years old, and I’m in my last semester of Early Childhood Learning. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life—I started out helping with my younger siblings, cousins, and niece, and over the years I’ve had the most experience with toddlers and school-aged children. I’ve also had the privilege of caring for my cousin with autism, which has helped me understand that every child has their own unique needs and ways of learning. I enjoy doing whatever kids love—whether that’s running around outside, reading books, working on puzzles, or getting creative with arts and crafts. I can also support with homework and learning, since I’ve taken classes in children’s literature, math, and health. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, which I find really helpful when connecting with families and children. In addition to childcare, I have a lot of experience with pets. I currently work at PetSmart, so I’ve gained knowledge about many different types of animals. At home, I have four cats and a guinea pig, so I’m very comfortable with both small and larger pets. I can help with walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure they get the love and attention they need. I’m also happy to support families with day-to-day needs like light cleaning, preparing simple meals and snacks, grocery shopping, and running errands. Overall, I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic person who truly enjoys helping children, pets, and families thrive.

"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)."
