Alexis $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Alexis!! I am 22 with over 5 years of child care experience. I am here for long term and short term care for your children! I started off my child care career with babysitting families here and there at 16 years old. I continued to get a job as a teachers aide in a 1-2 aged classroom. I loved that age but wanted to expand my experience so l moved as an aid to the 3-4 aged classroom while being a teacher in aftercare in a 4-5 aged classroom. I found so much joy in being a teacher I then decided to move schools and become a full time preschool teacher in a 4-5 aged classroom! I babysit for so many families in my spare time and being with children is one of my happy places! I love teaching and working with kids it has become one of my true passions. I love teaching children new things and continue to help them develop. I’m energetic, loving, affectionate, and passionate. I am here to help with cooking, cleaning, and overall upkeep of the house. I have my own transportation and am willing to transport in family car! Plus, I’m Very friendly with dogs :)

"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)."
