For over 20 years, I've dedicated myself to nurturing children's development. My passion stems from witnessing their growth firsthand and wanting to positively impact their lives. Previous babysitting experiences solidified my path. I am patient, creative, and friendly, building trust with children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I have some college education. I also work as a Registered Behavioval Technician as well. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. Communication with you is key; I follow your preferred method, offering verbal updates and regular texts. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I am also CPR and First Aid trained. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I'm eager to bring my experience and caring nature to your family, creating a safe and fun environment for your children to thrive.

She’s honestly the best nanny we’ve ever had. Super hands-on, patient, and really tuned in with the kids. She gives them her full attention, keeps them engaged, and cares for them like they’re her own. We always feel safe and at ease when she’s with them. Truly a blessing.

Schronda 3 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Schronda, but the children call me Ms. Ro. I have 20+ years of childcare experience, including 15+ years as a preschool teacher. Caring for children is truly my passion, and I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, explore, and grow. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, hands-on learning, music, and age-appropriate activities that support children’s development and independence. I’m also comfortable with meal preparation, bedtime routines, potty training, and maintaining children’s daily routines. I’m currently the primary caregiver for my 15-month-old goddaughter, Amiracle, so I’m especially interested in nanny opportunities with families who may be comfortable with me bringing her along. I also provide small-group childcare and an educational learning environment from my home in the 21229 area, incorporating early literacy, numbers, practical life skills, creative activities, hands-on learning, and outdoor exploration. If your family is open to a small-group home-based setting, I’d be happy to share more about what I offer. I’m dependable, patient, organized, and genuinely invested in providing quality care to every child entrusted to me.

I highly recommend Schronda as a babysitter. She has worked with me in the past and has consistently demonstrated that she is dependable, trustworthy, patient, and caring. Schronda takes her responsibilities seriously and treats children with kindness and respect. She is attentive to their needs, communicates professionally, and helps maintain a safe and positive environment. I would feel confident trusting Schronda to care for children, and I believe she would be an excellent choice for any family seeking a reliable and responsible babysitter.

"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)."
