Krisly $25 per hour for 1 child

Warm, dependable, and patient bilingual (English/Spanish) caregiver with years of childcare experience dating back to my college years. I’ve had the privilege of working long-term with one family since their first child was born in my early 20s, eventually helping care for all 3 of their children as they grew. I hold a Master’s degree in Health Education and currently work in project management, which has strengthened my organization, communication, reliability, and ability to multitask in fast-paced environments. As a mother to a soon-to-be 7-year-old, childcare is truly second nature to me, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel their children are safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. I love creating a fun, nurturing, and structured environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Families describe me as trustworthy, attentive, patient, and genuinely loving with children of all ages.

Booked by 1 family in Leonia, NJ

Hello, my name is Camila and I live in NYC , I can provide a resume and references, I am a responsible, caring, and very creative person. I have had the opportunity to care for four beautiful children from 3 different families, which has allowed me to gain hands-on experience working with different ages and personalities. I have artistic training from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, which really helps me connect with children through play, music, imagination, and creative activities. I love reading stories, doing arts and crafts, singing and or acting with them, and creating a fun but always safe environment. I am fluent in both Spanish and English, so I can support bilingual families or help children practice a second language in a natural way. I am patient, organized, and very attentive to children’s safety and well-being. It’s very important to me that they feel comfortable, heard, and happy while they are under my care.

We highly recommend Camilla!. She cared for our daughter and quickly built a wonderful connection with her. From the very beginning, she was warm, engaging, patient, and genuinely attentive to our daughter’s needs and personality. Our daughter looked forward to spending time with her, and it was clear that Cami made her feel safe, happy, and supported. She consistently came prepared with activities, kept our daughter engaged, and showed excellent judgment and reliability. Beyond being dependable and professional, what stood out most was the authentic bond she formed with our daughter. It gave us tremendous peace of mind knowing our child was in such caring and capable hands. We are grateful for the time she spent with our family and would enthusiastically recommend her to any family looking for a nurturing, trustworthy, and exceptional nanny.

"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."

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)."
