Yvelise $20 per hour for 1 child

“I’m a forty-one year old dedicated caregiver with extensive experience nurturing children and serving my community. Through my six years in home care and work as a recruiter for a home care agency, I’ve developed strong caregiving skills and understand what it means to truly care for others. I currently work for WorkForce1, a job placement center for New York City, where I help people find employment and build better lives. My passion for helping youth led me to start my own nonprofit focused on supporting kids and teens in my neighborhood. I’m also an active member of Uptown United, a community organization dedicated to giving back to our elderly, youth, and anyone in need through annual events and ongoing support. I regularly care for neighborhood teenagers and am excited to extend that care to younger children as well. My approach to childcare comes from a place of genuine love and community service. I believe in creating safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive, and I bring both professional caregiving experience and a heart for service to every family I work with

"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)."
