I’ve been caring for children since I was twelve years old, and with over 25 years of experience, I’ve had the joy of working with infants, toddlers, and children up to their teenage years. Babysitting has always been more than just a job for me — it’s something I truly love. I’m known for being patient, loving, and dependable. I always strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. Whether it’s reading stories, helping with meals, keeping up with housework, or maintaining a consistent routine, I’m happy to help with whatever is needed to make your day easier. I have open availability and am flexible with my schedule — I can work days, evenings, or overnight as needed. While I currently don’t drive, transportation will not be an issue, and I always make sure to arrive on time and ready to work.

Temi $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with many years of experience supporting children from infancy through their teenage years. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and able to grow. Families often describe me as patient, kindhearted, and very attentive. I understand that every child is unique, so I take time to learn their personalities, routines, and needs. Whether helping with homework, preparing meals, engaging in creative activities, or simply providing a caring presence, I aim to make each child feel valued and supported. My experience caring for children has taught me the importance of patience, clear communication, and encouragement. I work closely with parents to follow household routines and expectations while providing dependable care they can trust. Above all, I believe that children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported. I take pride in being someone families can rely on to provide both responsible supervision and genuine care.

"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)."
