Kylie $18 per hour for 1 child

I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and have over 10 years of experience with babysitting children of all ages from infancy to 10 years old of age. I also have experience nannying and teaching children. During Covid, I nannied and tutored two preschool/kindergarten children 5 days per several weeks and had created a preschool like atmosphere in their home while I came up with lesson plans, circle time, and various of other fun activities and crafts. I have 2 years of experience being a lead teacher aide in a home-based daycare. For the last 5 years I have worked as a Case Manager for individuals with developmental disabilities and am a certified Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professional (QIDP). I'm also certified in adult and infant CPR and first Aid. I recently I have decided to make a career change, and during this time of transition I am offering my qualified services of babysitting, pet care and senior care. I also have a couple years of experience in professional Caregiving for seniors. I have experience in dog sitting and cat sitting as well. I am passionate about helping others and the educational value of understanding the different stages of child development and its impact it has on adulthood and well-being. A bit about me...I studied cinematography as an undergraduate at Southern Illinois University where I directed and edited short films and later transferred to Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL to obtain my Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. I am creative, fun-loving, responsible, and kind spirited. I have travelled around the world, love to paint and write, and am very family oriented. Please reach out with any questions or to discuss further details to see if we make a good fit! Thank you so much, and I hope to hear from you soon. (I am also available short notice when in need:)

"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)."
