Griselda $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a dependable, patient, and caring mom of three girls with years of experience caring for children of all ages. I started babysitting, house sitting, and pet sitting as a preteen, and growing up in a large family taught me how to stay organized, multitask, and adapt to just about anything. I'm happy to help with school pick-ups and drop-offs, prepare simple meals, assist with light household tasks, and keep your child's daily routine running smoothly. Whether we're playing outside, reading books, or winding down for bedtime, my goal is to create a safe, fun, and comfortable environment where kids feel cared for and parents feel confident they're in good hands. I know every family is different, so I do my best to be reliable, communicative, and flexible while treating your home and children with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

"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)."
