Patricia $28 per hour for 1 child

Helloooo! My name is Patricia and I just moved to NY after graduating with a B.S in Chemistry and Sustainability. I am offering child, senior care and tutoring services! I've been helping care for my nieces and nephews since I was twelve and now l am twenty-three, so looking after little ones is practically second nature to me. I also worked as a Sunday School teacher for three years and I worked with ages 4-9. In addition to childcare, I have experience working as a caregiver for seniors, primarily focusing on companionship and daily support. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I was also a Certified Medication Technician (CMT), so safety and proper care are always my top priorities. When I'm not working, you'll usually find me crafting outfits, lost in literature, or out exploring with friends. I genuinely love being around kids and bring a lot of that creative energy into my sitting

"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)."
