Hi there! I'm Yaira - a warm, open-minded, and patient caregiver with a heart full of love for children. I'm 23 years old, proudly Colombian, and fluent in both English and Spanish. With over 2,000 hours of hands-on childcare experience, I've cared for children of all ages and always approach my work with empathy, responsibility, and joy. Before becoming an au pair, I spent a year volunteering at a daycare, where I discovered my passion for supporting little ones. I'm CPR certified, a strong swimmer, and hold a degree in Social Communication, which has strengthened my ability to connect meaningfully with kids and parents. I believe in respectful, loving, and mindful parenting, and I bring that philosophy into every home I work with. I'm also a non-smoker and do not drink alcohol. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind-hearted, and truly passionate about nurturing your child's development, I'd love to connect. Let's chat and see if we're a great fit!

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Elizabeth, NJ

Hello, my name is Yralis Consuegra, a 43-year-old Colombian single mother with a bachelor's degree in accounting assistance. Today marks my last day after 11 years of dedicated service in customer service, where my primary goal was ensuring customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, the company sold its stores, but I see this as an opportunity to embrace change and pursue my passion for childcare. I moved to this beautiful country 17 years ago, carrying many personal dreams for myself and my son. Now, as my son is about to graduate from university, I have the time and opportunity to share my love and care with other children. I am an honest, responsible person with a great sense of humor. I love interacting with people, cooking, learning, teaching, traveling, and exploring different cultures. I hope to bring love, care, and happiness to the children I look after, helping them grow into joyful and well-rounded individuals. Thank you for considering me as a babysitter for your family. I look forward to the opportunity to provide the best care and support for your children.

"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)."
