Amaya $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, I’m Amaya! I’d like to describe myself as a patient and nurturing sitter. Children brighten up my day and i’d like to say I brighten up theirs as well. I’m still building my professional babysitting experience, however I’ve cared for children ages 4–7 on occasion (really enjoyed it) and have spent most of my life helping look after my younger sister (she’s two years younger than me, so I’ve mastered how to be attentive, dependable, and approach situations with a firm but gentle approach children of all ages) I may not have years of experience yet, but what I do have is patience, emotional awareness, and a natural ability to connect with kids and make them feel I love creating a calm, positive environment where children feel safe, heard, and comfortable being themselves. I am also extremely big on encouraging independence through younger children when it comes to problem solving, making appropriate decisions, and communication. A few things about me: - I prioritize safe, age-appropriate activities like: board games, dancing, walking, playground trips (I— as a 20 yr/old, thoroughly enjoy playing on the swings myself :), and makeup if you’ve got a doll you’d like to have in my care 🩷 - I’m CPR certified. - I’m a 3rd year undergraduate student. - I understand the importance of structure and consistency. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your child. I take that responsibility very seriously and would care for your child the same way I’d want someone to care for mine. I’m excited to grow as a sitter and build long-term relationships with families who value communication, safety, and energy. Thank you for considering me as a sitter and i’d be more than willing to be accepted into your family as a sitter!

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
