Desarie 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Desarie, and I am an experienced childcare professional with several years of experience caring for children from infancy through age 16. I have worked with children in private homes, schools, camps, and educational settings, including experience as a nanny/sitter, Teacher Assistant, and Camp Group Leader. I have experience caring for multiple children at once and supporting families with everything from daily routines, meal preparation and light cooking to children’s laundry, potty training, homework, playtime, outdoor activities, playdates, birthday events, and age-appropriate outings. I’m also comfortable with pets and have experience working early mornings, evenings, and overnight care. My background in education has given me experience supporting children academically, socially, emotionally, and behaviorally. I especially enjoy creating fun activities, encouraging independence, helping with schoolwork, and providing children with a safe and comfortable environment where they can be themselves. I am a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) and BLS certified through the American Heart Association. I have also completed training in Child Safeguarding, Mandated Reporting, Identifying and Responding to Anaphylaxis, and Health & Safety for Child Care Providers. I am currently pursuing Pre-Health Science/Nursing at LaGuardia Community College with the goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. Working with children has been an important part of my life for years, and I genuinely enjoy watching them grow, reach new milestones, explore their interests, and develop their own personalities.

“Desarie is an amazing sitter; She is professional, has amazing communication and my child adores her! Highly recommended sitter.”

$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 4 families in Emerson, NJ

Hi families, I’m Yirma ! I’ve always had a natural connection with children, which started at a young age while helping care for my younger brother from infancy to now, at age 11. Through that experience, I’ve become confident in caring for children and comfortable with many aspects of childcare, including diaper changes, bathing, feeding, tidying up, laundry, school drop offs and pick ups, taking children to appointments and activities, and helping with homework. I also have experience working with neurodivergent children and understand the importance of being patient, adaptable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I am someone who is patient, compassionate, and empathetic, and I strive to bring those qualities into every aspect of my care. I really enjoy spending time with children in fun and meaningful ways, whether that’s playing with them, drawing and painting, or spending time outside exploring and enjoying fresh air. I also enjoy helping with learning and simply being present with them in a positive, engaging way. I’d love the opportunity to speak further and see how I can support your family. I look forward to hearing from you !

“Yirma is amazing! My super active son loved being with her. We will recommend her 100%.”

"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)."
