I am a caring and reliable caregiver with hands-on experience working with infants and young children. I currently work as an Infant Assistant Teacher and I am also a mother, which has strengthened my patience, organization, and nurturing skills. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where children can grow and feel secure. I am attentive to routines, feeding, naps, and developmental activities, and I always prioritize children’s safety and well-being.

“Ms. Lafrance is a responsible young woman who is dedicated to her work. She is also passionate about children. She takes care of all my children's needs. I'm sure she was born for this job because she treats the children with love.”

Alexandra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Alex and I'm recent graduate of Wesleyan University. I'm offering childcare and household services. I love working with kids and have babysat (around my neighborhood growing up, no full time experience) as well as volunteered at an elementary and middle school in Middletown, CT as tutor and emotional support coach for kids. I have a car and drivers license so am able to drive if necessary. Also, I love doing fun activities like crafts and playing games to help get kids off technology! I feel comfortable cooking, cleaning, and running errands such as grocery shopping. I am comfortable with pets and pet care, and allergic to cats, but am alright with cats as long as I know in advance and can take medicine.

"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)."
