Yesenia cared for our son from 14 to 19 months, and she was a wonderful nanny — caring, loving, honest, and trustworthy. She helped him explore his interests and took real pleasure in every part of his daily routine. She was a good communicator and always willing to lend a helping hand - especially at times when we needed it the most! We’re so grateful to have had her in our lives. We’re relocating to the West Coast, or we would have happily continued working with her. We recommend her without hesitation.

Ludi $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi!! It’s so nice to meet you. My name is Ludi though everyone calls me Ela. I am currently in my last year of college at Howard University where I am studying Radiation Therapy. I would describe myself as kind, reliable, responsible and energetic which makes taking care of children a responsibility I greatly enjoy. I was born in Eritrea and grew up in Seattle where I enjoyed hiking, going on walks, and visiting some amazing bookshops and cafes. I first starting helping care for children when my sister was born. While I can’t believe that she is nine now (!!!), I have enjoyed helping take care of her since she was born. Since my mother was a contract worker and my father worked doubles, taking care of her was a responsibility I took very seriously and found to be beyond rewarding. The skills and patience I gained when helping her learn to read or understand her frustrations when she couldn’t verbalize them are ones I use now as I study patient care. Since taking care of her, I have been trusted with the care of children of all ages and varying needs. I personally enjoy reading together, going on walks, working through homework, playing games, cooking, and making origami animals with kids. I am very health conscious and have received both Covid shots as well as three boosters along with my yearly flu shot. It is important to me that I develop long lasting, and meaningful connections with families I can provide services to. I can’t wait to meet you!!

"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)."
