Serenity $19 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Riverside, IL

Hi- My name is Serenity and I am a law student working towards being a lawyer within the next few years! I enjoy working with infants, toddlers, and kids all the time. I’ve been working with/being in charge of youth since the age of 14 years old as I worked in a youth center for 3 years now. My responsibilities that have been held firmly would be tutoring, taking them to their own lessons or after school programs. I work as a household assistant as well as i cook, clean and able to teach the children. I have also been a great caregiver to the older generation as well such as my grandparents and helping out with going to doctors appointments, running errands and just being able to help out with what I can. I have no allergies so cats and dogs are very welcome for me!

Booked by 2 families in Riverside, IL

I have a degree in Advertising and Marketing, and I bring not only responsibility and dedication but also a lot of creativity , a quality I apply in both childcare and daily tasks. I have experience with babies as young as 4 months old, as well as with children over 5 years old, always ensuring a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I enjoy creating playful and educational activities tailored to each child’s age. I'm an animal lover and happy to help care for pets with love, and I’m also willing to assist with household organization when needed. I'm communicative, proactive, and truly enjoy contributing to a family's well-being.

"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)."
