Estella $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Estella and I am a young adult who loves working with kids, and I am thrilled by the thought of helping a family in need of extra set of hands for their children. Throughout the course of my life, I have had a passion for early child development and the importance for emotional regulation in children. I decided to learn about this passion through internships at early education facilities such as Montessori schools and play based learning institutions, working with children ages 2 to 5 in classroom settings. Working in these environments taught be professionalism, a responsible work ethic, and a genuine love for helping families. I am a reliable, patient, and energetic caregiver who truly enjoys providing support for children's growth by leading educational safe environment's where they can thrive. My youthful energy makes it easy for me to connect with children while staying professional, creating a dependable and fun relationship between parents, children and myself. Alongside providing a safe learning environment, I also specialize in helping kids emotionally communicate and regulate their emotions with therapeutic techniques. Through my experience in internships I worked one on one with children who had attention deficits, autism, adhd, and developmental delays which helped me understand that every child has individual needs when it comes to emotional support. I'm attentive to each child's induvial needs, committed to maintaining their routines, and and always willing to offer whatever support I can for the parents. Whether that's a scheduled nap time, planning fun activities, helping with homework, or simply being level headed and calm with the task at hand. I love working with kids because they are the future and it is our job as adults to help shape them into respectable, kind, and smart people so they can build a better tomorrow. I hope that I am able to support your family and make your life easier.

Hello, my name is Tamiyah, I am a loving, patient, and dependable childcare provider with over 5+ years of professional experience working with children of various ages. I previously worked as an Afterschool Teacher at Apex Learning Center, where I supported elementary-aged students with homework assistance, structured activities, classroom management, and social-emotional development. In this role, I learned how to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel encouraged, supported, and confident. In addition to my experience with school-aged children, I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and gentle guidance during early developmental stages. I enjoy creating age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, learning, and emotional growth while always prioritizing safety.

Erica $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate education professional with experience working with children and students with disabilities. My educational background includes studying Psychology at Felician University, where I developed a strong interest in child development, behavior, and supporting individuals with different learning needs. I am continuing to pursue my goal of completing my education and becoming a certified Special Education teacher, with a particular interest in working with neurodivergent children. Since August 2022, I have worked as a Teacher Assistant with the Plainfield Public School District in New Jersey. In this role, I provide academic, behavioral, and emotional support to students with diverse needs. I work closely with teachers and other school professionals to help students participate in classroom activities, follow routines, develop independence, and feel safe and supported in their learning environment. My experience has given me the opportunity to work with students who require additional patience, structure, communication, and individualized support. My passion for working with children with special needs is also deeply personal. I am a parent of children with special needs, and my own experiences have given me a deeper understanding of the challenges, strengths, and unique needs that children and their families may experience. Being a parent has taught me patience, compassion, advocacy, and the importance of celebrating every child's individual progress. It is one of the reasons I chose to dedicate my career to working with children who need additional support. I consider myself a loving and caring caregiver because I genuinely care about the well-being of every child I work with. I understand that children need more than supervision—they need patience, encouragement, understanding, consistency, and someone who will advocate for them. I strive to create an environment where children feel safe, respected, accepted, and valued. I treat the children in my care with the same compassion and patience that I would want someone to show my own children. My personal and professional experiences have strengthened my commitment to education and caregiving. I want to continue growing professionally and eventually become a Special Education teacher who can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families.

"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)."
