talecqua $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Talecqua! I have several years of experience working closely with children and families, and through both my career and personal life, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how important it is to create a safe, caring, and supportive environment for kids to grow and thrive. While I don’t have children of my own, I’ve spent a lot of time helping care for my siblings, nieces, and nephews. These experiences have given me valuable hands-on skills in babysitting, from keeping children engaged and entertained to making sure their daily needs are met with patience and attention. I’ve learned how important it is to be reliable, attentive, and nurturing, as well as how much trust families place in someone caring for their children. I’m also comfortable around pets, including both cats and dogs. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light household tasks, daily routines, and running small errands if needed. I’m friendly, dependable, and flexible, and I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and fun environment for children while helping parents feel at ease. My goal is always to make sure everything runs smoothly and that families feel supported. In addition, I’m a professional hairstylist and can also assist with basic hairstyling needs for children if desired, offering an extra level of care and convenience for families.

"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)."
