Malika $18 per hour for 1 child

As a former PreK-5th grade teacher, I have a wealth of experience working with children of all ages and enjoy creating fun and educational activities to engage them. In addition to my teaching experience, I have previous babysitting experience and am well-versed in child care best practices. I have a passion for working with children and find it incredibly rewarding to provide a safe and nurturing environment for them to learn and grow. I have a warm and friendly personality and am skilled in establishing strong relationships with children and parents alike. I am confident in my ability to handle any situation that may arise while caring for your children, whether it be feeding, changing diapers, administering medicine, or providing homework help. I am also happy to help with light housekeeping duties and meal preparation. I am available on weekdays, weekends, and evenings, and have a flexible schedule that can accommodate your family's needs.

"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)."
