Mariah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hey there ! My name is Mariah 😁 My experience includes: - Previously providing child care for families with kids aged 0-12 years old on weekdays at church (2[removed]). I was responsible for looking after the children while their parents attended their social groups. With older kids, we would play games, color, talk, and watch fun movies. With the babies, i would play & read books to them. Also, change diapers, feed and put them to sleep. - I also provided child care for families with kids aged 1 to 8 years old on weekends, during church services and church events. We watched movies, play games (indoor & outdoor) and learn about the Bible. - I’m 2016 & 2017 I served as a counselor in training for day & residential campers at Camp Wabanna Conference Center. I co-led groups of kindergarten and 8 to 11-year-old children. I led Bible studies, helped lead trust building exercises, kayaking, rock climbing, zip lining, fishing, and more. - Also, I was a day camp counselor for Coast Guard Youth Summer Camp from 2014 to 2018. I co-led a group of 10-14 kids aged 5-13 years old throughout the day. I led the kids through fun activities such as kick ball, swimming, scavenger hunts. We also did many tours of boats, participated in science & zoo shows and learned about the history of the Coast Guard throughout the Yard. - In 2021 I was a full time nanny for twins (8). Throughout the day I would help them with online school, homework, meals and fun activities. I have been a Substitute for a daycare provider, working with small children ages 2-4. We go through a full schedule involving indoor and outdoor playtime, reading time, meals, nap time, and other small activities. Currently, I work as a full-time nanny for a family, providing care for a 2-year-old and a 6-year-old. My responsibilities include preparing meals, engaging the 2-year-old in learning activities, and driving the 5-year-old to school and activities. I maintain a patient and kind demeanor when dealing with children and have a strong understanding of their social, emotional, and developmental needs. Children have always had a special place in my heart. Their little smiles and laughs mean the world and I love to be a part of watching little ones learn and grow. I welcome you to reach out to discuss or ask any questions. Warm regards, Mariah

"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)."
