Tanika $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dependable, compassionate, and attentive caregiver with experience supporting children, seniors, pets, and household needs. My approach is centered on safety, patience, clear communication, and creating a positive, comfortable environment for those in my care. With children, I enjoy engaging them through age-appropriate activities, helping with routines, assisting with homework, and providing attentive supervision. I understand the importance of consistency, encouragement, and building trust with both children and parents. In senior care, I am patient, respectful, and focused on preserving dignity and independence. I can assist with companionship, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation support, and daily living activities as needed. I don’t not have experience caring for pets, however I understand that pets are family members and am willing to learn. Beyond caregiving, I am happy to assist with household services such as light cleaning, laundry, organizing, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and running errands. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and proactive in helping a household run smoothly. Families and clients often appreciate my strong work ethic, punctuality, adaptability, and calm demeanor. I am a good listener, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy helping others. My goal is always to provide safe, dependable, and compassionate care while giving families peace of mind. I have two kids of my own ages 17 and 9 girl and boy so I am very aware, caring loving and nurturing. I also have CPR/ first aid

"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)."
