Sara $29 per hour for 1 child

A little bit about me Hello, My name is Sara, and I'd love to share a little about myself. I have had the privilege of working as a Critical Care Registered Nurse for over 26 years. While becoming a nanny may seem like quite a career change, I have truly found joy in caring for children and supporting families in a more personal way. I was previously employed full-time by a wonderful family, caring for their 2-year-old toddler. In addition to providing attentive childcare, I assisted with meal preparation, light housekeeping, daily walks, and planned outings that encourage learning, socialization, and fun. Although my professional title has not always been "nanny," I have extensive experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to older toddlers. My nursing background has provided me with exceptional skills in safety, patience, communication, and the ability to respond calmly and confidently in any situation. I take pride in creating a nurturing, engaging, and safe environment where children can thrive while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are receiving attentive and compassionate care. I especially enjoy helping children learn age-appropriate skills such as the ABCs, counting, colors, shapes, sight words, and early problem-solving through play, reading, and everyday activities. As both a caregiver and healthcare professional, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and open communication with families. My goal is to support not only the children in my care but also the parents by helping make daily life run a little more smoothly. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I look forward to the opportunity to support another family and help their children learn, grow, and thrive. Warmly, Sara

Hi, thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. I’m 41, I live is a happy home with my spouse and our 3 year old daughter and our dog (bestest boy ever).

I also studied Communication Development and Disorders (Speech Pathology) for a year as a post- bachelor, which gave me a considerable background in child and language development. I love animals. I have excellent references and a lot to offer any family. If you are interested in setting up an interview or if you'd like to see my resume please get in touch!

"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)."
