Booked by 10 families in Wakefield, 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.

Booked by 3 families in Wakefield, MA

Hi everyone! My name is Dalya. I’m a part-time nursing student, licensed EMT, and BLS/CPR-certified caregiver with over three years of childcare experience, including caring for infants and young children. My emergency medical training has prepared me to recognize when something is wrong and respond appropriately in situations such as choking, allergic reactions, falls, or other injuries children are susceptible to. Beyond safety, I’m patient, nurturing, reliable, and genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections with children. I’m comfortable managing feeding, naps, playtime, bedtime routines, meal preparation, and homework. I also have experience tutoring and mentoring students with academics, organization, and college readiness. I enjoy creating activities that are both fun and developmentally appropriate while respecting each family’s routines and parenting preferences. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, organization, and pet care when needed.

“Dalya worked for our family for over a year and was great with my kids. She helped with meals, school work, activities, bath time and daily routines. One of my children has a disability and takes medication Dalya always followed the instructions carefully and made sure it was given on time. She is very patient dependable and the kids really trust her. She is also an EMT which gave us a lot of peace of mind especially with our youngest. I would highly recommend her to any family.”

"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)."
