Nakoryia $27 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Riverdale, MD

Hi! I’m an Atlanta native with lots of experience caring for kids and pets. I’ve babysat for teachers, my nephew, and other families, and I recently worked as a teaching fellow for middle school students. I love getting to know kids, helping them learn, and keeping them engaged. I’ve also worked as a summer camp counselor for multiple summers, including travel-based programs, which strengthened my ability to adapt to new environments and manage group dynamics. In addition, I’ve served as a peer mentor for three years, supporting younger students through guidance and encouragement. These experiences have deepened my understanding of children’s needs and how to support them with patience, structure, and attentiveness. I’m patient, observant, and good at matching kids energy, whether they’re super active or a little shy. I also volunteered at a Dementia Care Center, where I used art to connect with older adults, so creativity is a big part of who I am. My cultural awareness is another aspect of my personality. I enjoy arts and crafts, staying active, and practicing my Spanish (I’m an intermediate speaker). I also grew up with a Pomeranian-Papillon mix for over 10 years, so I’m totally comfortable around friendly pets! Finally, I am more than willing run errands, though I don't have a car, do light cleaning, light cooking, and light laundry.

hi families, my name is Asisipho, and i bring a strong passion for caregiving that’s been shaped by years of hands-on experience. i’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids, as well as with seniors who needed companionship, personal care, and support with daily living. i’m a certified nursing assistant (cna), and i’ve combined my healthcare background with my nurturing nature to offer compassionate, reliable care—whether it’s changing diapers, helping with homework, preparing meals, assisting with mobility, or running errands. with over 7 years of caregiving experience, i’ve become known for being patient, dependable, and calm under pressure. families appreciate my ability to build strong, trusting relationships and to keep a peaceful, organized environment at home. what makes me a great caregiver is not just my skills, but my heart. i genuinely love helping people feel safe, supported, and cared for—whether it’s a child who needs comfort or a senior who needs extra help to stay independent. if you’re looking for someone who will treat your loved ones like family, i’d love to connect.

"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)."
