Alison $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello My name is Alisson, and I’m a warm, patient, and caring preschool teacher with over three years of experience working with children ages 0–12. I have my Child Development Associate (CDA) credential, First Aid training, and food safety training. I truly love being part of a child’s growth and development. I enjoy planning fun activities, encouraging creativity, reading stories, playing games, and celebrating every little milestone. My goal is to make every child feel safe, loved, happy, and special. 🧸✨ I also have knowledge of the Reggio Emilia approach, which emphasizes child-led learning, creativity, exploration, and hands-on experiences. I love encouraging children to express themselves, follow their curiosity, and discover the world around them through meaningful and engaging activities. 🌿🎨 I would also love to teach your little ones Spanish! 💗 Spanish is my native language, and I speak basic English. I can introduce children to Spanish through songs, stories, games, and everyday conversations, helping them learn a new language in a fun and natural way. 🚗 I have my own car and a valid driver’s license, so I have reliable transportation and can travel to your home. As a preschool teacher, I understand the importance of patience, responsibility, safety, and creating a positive environment where children can learn and thrive. I know how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for their little ones. I would be so happy to support your family, help your children learn and grow, and provide loving, attentive care. I look forward to meeting a wonderful family and becoming a positive part of your children’s lives! 💕

I’m a dependable and caring babysitter with 3 years of experience supporting families and caring for children from newborns to 10 years old. I’m certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, so safety is always a top priority. I’ve helped with everything from diaper changes and feeding to homework, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’ve cared for up to three kids at once and bring patience, positive energy, and a calm presence to every home. Whether it’s a fun-filled day or a quiet evening routine, I aim to create a warm, safe, and engaging environment where kids feel secure and parents feel confident.

“Julia was professional the entire time. Came on time and kept my child engaged the whole time. Our little one loved spending time with her.”

"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)."
