I also have my own child who is 8 years old and raised him mostly on my own since infancy. I also have 13 years experience working with the elderly in a home care setting. I have had pets before too and love animals so I love pet sitting as well. I currently live pet free, but don’t mind watching your lovely companion.

Booked by 10 families in Boston, MA

I've always had a passion for nurturing the growth and development of children. With eight years of childcare experience, I've had the privilege of supporting families and providing a reliable childcare option for them. My patient, calm, and friendly nature allows me to connect with children of all ages. I ensure open lines of communication with parents, either verbally at pick-up or through their preferred method, to discuss their child's day or any concerns. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules while fostering a positive and nurturing environment. My favorite moments are spent engaging children in outdoor sports, playing educational games, or having fun with board games and puzzles. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children, ranging from infants to preteens, and am available to provide care during the day, evenings, and weekends. I have a car and am comfortable with pets.

“Safina was wonderful and attentive with our son! ”

"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)."
