indielacia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Indielacia, but you can call me Indie! I recently moved back home after living in Ithaca, New York, where I attended Ithaca College studying Public Health and Childhood Education. While in Ithaca, I worked at a local daycare and gained almost 3 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve been caring for children since I was 14 and have experience with children of different ages, including toddlers, older children, and twins. I’m comfortable with school drop-offs and pick-ups, nap time, bedtime, meals, diapering, potty training, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. I love playing, dancing, coloring, doing creative activities, and going to parks or museums with children. I’m patient, caring, energetic, responsible, and dependable, and I always try to make children feel safe and comfortable. I’m also comfortable caring for cats and other pets. I’m CPR-certified and excited to get to know new families and provide caring, one-on-one support!

Grace 1 review
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Grace, an NYU graduate student and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I love spending time with kids and helping them have fun while they feel safe and cared for. I've worked with children in schools, museums, and community programs, and I enjoy getting outside, reading together, making art, or simply following their curiosity. I'm calm, dependable, CPR/First Aid certified, and happy to help with light housekeeping or pets. I'm hoping to find a family I can get to know over time and become someone your child is excited to see.

Grace is one of the most dependable, thoughtful, and caring people I know. She is especially wonderful with children. She has a natural ability to make kids feel comfortable, understood, and engaged, while still being responsible and attentive. She is patient, creative, calm under pressure, and someone parents can trust completely. I would recommend Grace without hesitation. Any family would be lucky to have her caring for their 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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
