Leah $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leah, and I am currently an Infant Teacher with a passion for providing quality childcare and supporting busy families. In addition to childcare, I offer household assistance to help make everyday life a little easier for parents. I have approximately 4 years of professional daycare experience, working with children ranging from 6 months to 5 years old. I take great pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and reach important developmental milestones. While I especially enjoy working with infants and younger children, I have a special place in my heart for older children as well! Alongside childcare, I am happy to assist with a variety of household responsibilities, including cooking, light housekeeping, laundry, organizing, running errands, and other day-to-day tasks. I am also very pet-friendly, with over 8 years of experience caring for dogs. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive, and personalized support so parents can feel confident knowing their children, pets, and home are in caring hands. I would love the opportunity to become a helping hand to your family!

Booked by 1 family in Plainfield, NJ

I'm Zarahi, I am a very adventurous person always looking for a thrill. I am very compassionate, caring, cheerful and openminded. I've always been drawn to working with kids. My first experience started off in 8th grade when I volunteered to elementary school children with their homework at my local elementary school, to then at age 14 assisting with the children at my church, giving them lessons and plan activities for them. Then eventually starting my childcare journey after high school when looking for a job to present time. Within these years I've gained experience with children ages 0-12. Working with children is very fulfilling and beautiful.

“Zarahi is always on time and courteous. She does an amazing job with our sons and they always look forward to her coming. She is willing to help out and is now a part of our extended family. We enjoy having her.”

"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)."
