Madisyn $20 per hour for 1 child

I have over seven years of experience working with children in both childcare and educational settings. Working with kids has always been something I’m passionate about, and I love being able to support their growth while creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment. I began my childcare journey in 2019 as a Summer Camp Counselor with the YMCA while I was in high school, where I worked with children through 2024. In 2022, I started working in the YMCA’s aftercare program and remained there until January 2026. During my time with the YMCA, I gained valuable experience planning activities, supervising children, and helping them build confidence, friendships, and social skills. In 2024, I joined ESS as a paraprofessional, where I worked exclusively with children with learning and behavioral disabilities. This role strengthened my patience, adaptability, and ability to provide individualized support to help each child succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. I remained with ESS until July 2026. In February 2026, I began working at a private school, where I continue to expand my experience in education and childcare. Throughout my career, I have worked with children ranging in age from 3 to 10 years old. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, energetic, and compassionate. I understand that every child has unique needs and personalities, and I strive to create a positive, engaging, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable, valued, and encouraged to be themselves. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning fun activities, or simply being a trusted and caring presence, I am committed to providing the best possible care for every child and peace of mind for every parent.

"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)."
