Geralis $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Emerson, NJ

I started working with kids when I interned at the NYPL as a "literacy leader" tutoring 1st & 2nd graders. I worked 1 on 1 with a little girl from the DR, who arrived not knowing any English, and it was so rewarding to bond with her, teach her the language, and witness her joy as she learned. Over the summer I interned at a nursery school and worked with 1-4 year olds! A little bit about me, I'm 21 years old and a student at Lehman college studying psychology. I'd describe my personality as sweet, funny, and calm! I like working with children because their curiosity and joy are infectious! It's heartwarming to see the world through their pov. I always make sure that the child feels comfortable and supported, I am good at coming up with ideas and activities. I love to teach the children new things, do crafts, explore with them, and most of all create amazing bonds! I want to be able to provide parents with comfort and security of having someone trustworthy watching their little ones!

"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

"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)."
