Hi- my name is Annette and I”m currently semi retired . I am offering child care in your home, senior care and household services. I love being a babysitter I have lots of experience and six children of my own that are grown and have their families in upstate New York. I have babysat lots of children and I love taking care of them as my own . I have taking care of my grand parents and I feel comfortable with senior care and their needs. I have cleaned homes and I am a type of individual that checks everything to be spotless and organized . If anyone needs me also on Saturday or Sunday I am able to help you . My rate is $30 an hour on the weekends . Thank you 😊

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Annette as our daughter’s nanny. She joined our family when our daughter was just 5 months old and has been with us through so many important stages of her growth and development. Now, at 2 years old, our daughter absolutely adores Annette, and she has truly become like a member of our family. Annette is incredibly warm, nurturing, patient, and attentive. She knows our daughter so well that she can often sense when something is off before we even realize it. She is wonderful about communicating with me throughout the day and always keeps me informed about meals, naps, activities, and anything else I should know. She has also played an important role in helping us establish a consistent routine. She prepares our daughter’s breakfast and lunch, does puzzles and other activities with her, and is wonderful at getting her settled for her afternoon naps. On days when our daughter isn’t feeling her best, Annette is especially patient and comforting, which has always given us tremendous peace of mind. Her flexibility has also been invaluable to our family. Annette is extremely accommodating when our schedule changes and has even traveled with us. During one of my week-long business training trips, she came along and cared for our daughter at the hotel while I attended training each day. Knowing our daughter was with someone she loved and trusted made the entire experience so much easier. Annette also frequently brings homemade meals and snacks, which is such a thoughtful reflection of the care she puts into everything she does. Our decision to transition our daughter to daycare is simply the next step for our family as she gets older, and saying goodbye to having Annette with us every day is truly bittersweet. She has been part of our daughter’s life since she was a baby, and we will always be grateful for the love and care she has given her. We wholeheartedly recommend Annette to any family looking for a dependable, loving, attentive, flexible, and genuinely caring nanny. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.

"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)."
