Esther $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Star ⭐️. I speak both English and French, and caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I grew up in a family of 10, so I've always been surrounded by kids. I've been babysitting for over 6 years and have experience caring for children from newborns to 15 years old. Two years ago, my best friend welcomed her baby, and I've been one of her primary caregivers ever since. I'm comfortable with newborn care, including diaper changes, bottle feeding, soothing, nap routines, and creating a safe, loving environment. I'm patient, dependable, organized, and creative. I enjoy planning fun activities, helping with homework, reading stories, and making sure children feel happy, supported, and cared for while their parents are away. I'm also an experienced pet caregiver! I have a 1-year-old brindle Pit Bull mix, so I'm very comfortable with energetic dogs. I've cared for Pit Bulls, Poodles, and cats through dog walking and pet sitting, and I'd be happy to help with pets as part of your family's care. I currently work as a bartender four evenings a week (usually after 5:00 PM), but I'm happy to adjust my schedule whenever possible to meet a family's needs. At the moment I don't drive, but I'm very reliable with Uber and public transportation, and I always make punctuality a priority. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, compassionate care you can trust. I look forward to meeting 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."

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)."
