Tyesha $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Kensington, MD

Hi, I’m Tyesha! I’m a dedicated and experienced caregiver with a background as both a nanny and a teacher. Working in both roles has given me a strong understanding of children’s needs at different ages and stages, and it’s truly where my passion lies, helping kids learn, grow, and feel supported every day. I’m known for being patient, trustworthy, and attentive. I love creating a fun and engaging environment through activities like storytime, crafts, and outdoor play, while also supporting learning and development. With my teaching experience, I’m very comfortable helping with homework, building routines, and encouraging confidence in schoolwork. As a nanny, I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing space where children feel happy and secure. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping and meal prep, and I always strive to make things easier for parents by being reliable, organized, and communicative. My goal is to create a positive, caring environment where children can truly be themselves while growing and learning. I look forward to becoming a supportive and dependable part of your family!

"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)."
