Hello, my name is sara H. I have always been passionate about working with children. I have been a nanny/Babysitter with children. I have been a nanny/babysitter for a couple of years now and I love it. I am CPR certified for Adult, Child and Infant. I am very skilled in supervising activities of children of different ages while providing them with ongoing care and a safe environment. In my previous job I cared for children's daily activities, behaviors, and related issues. I Instructed children in health and personal habits, such as eating, resting, and toilet habits. I Helped children with homework and school work. I took children to and from school, on outings, and to medical appointments. I currently work for several families for late nights and occasional help during the week. I also have positions that lasted 2-4 years. I am very reliable and flexible with my schedule. I also do personal tutoring in Arabic, math, writing and reading. I am very creative and adventurous. I enjoy doing arts and crafts with children.

Hi my name is Hermela, and I’m offering child care, senior care, and household services. I’ve loved working with children for years and have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I enjoy planning activities like crafts, outdoor games, storytime, and tutoring. I’m also comfortable with school drop-offs/pick-ups, meal prep, and bedtime routines. In addition to child care, I assist with household tasks like light cleaning, laundry, organizing, and running errands. I have personal experience providing care for seniors, including my grandparents. I’m happy to help with meal prep, medication reminders, transportation, and companionship. While I’m allergic to cats, I’m very comfortable around dogs and would be happy to care for them too.

I've had extensive experience with children in a variety of professional capacities (babysitting, nanny, tutor, yoga teacher) and have a young adult in college. In the past several years, I have worked with a few local families after school. It's a win-win for me having something I look forward to on my daily schedule and for families to have a reliable, mature caregiver the kids enjoy spending time with. I particularly like working with tweens and teens and am happy to shuttle to and from school, home, and activities.

"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)."
