My name is Erenia and my family and I are originally from Ecuador. I have 9 loving grandchildren, all of whom I helped raised in Queens NY. I also have many years of nanny / housekeeping experience with families whom I’ve worked with for many years. As their children have grown, and are moving on to new endeavors, I am once again on the hunt for work. I speak primarily Spanish with little English. I would am willing to travel from Linden, NJ to locations easily accessible by bus, or will be willing to work in Manhattan.

Nada $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm a college student looking for part-time babysitting opportunities. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I enjoy spending time with kids of all ages. I have experience in a child development setting where I planned lesson plans and activities for children, so I enjoy finding fun and engaging ways to keep kids entertained while helping them learn. I’m comfortable with pets, have reliable transportation, and can help with after-school care, activities, meals, and creating a safe environment for children. I’m looking for flexible babysitting jobs and would love the opportunity to help your family.

"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)."
