Zharielle $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Zharielle. I’m 20 years old and currently in college studying Early Childhood Development. I will be graduating this year with my associate degree, and because my program is fully online, I have a very flexible schedule. I have been working in childcare since I was 16, and during COVID I had the opportunity to nanny for a wonderful family, which really strengthened my passion for supporting children’s growth and routines. I’ve also worked in a childcare center’s gaining hands-on experience with various age groups and learning how to create a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment. My mom is a teacher, so I grew up spending time in her classroom and watching how much joy she found in working with children. That experience inspired me to follow in her footsteps. Eventually, I even had the chance to work alongside her, which confirmed how much I love helping young children learn and develop. Outside of work, I’m an aunt to three nieces and three nephews, so I’m constantly around little ones. I truly enjoy spending time with them, supporting their milestones, and stepping in to help whenever needed. I live in Coon Rapids right across from Blaine highschool and am reliable, patient, and committed to creating a positive experience for both children and parents. I would love the opportunity to work with your family and support your children daily routine, learning, and overall well-being.

"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)."
