Shelina $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Shelina, and I bring over 20 years of experience working with children, adults, and families across various educational and caregiving roles. I’ve had the privilege of working with special needs children and adults during my time at AHRC NYC, where I provided compassionate care, support, and education. Additionally, I’ve worked extensively within the NYC Department of Education, contributing to the growth and development of students for many years. Beyond that, I’ve also had experience in family crisis intervention, ensuring that I can handle sensitive situations with empathy and professionalism. I’m deeply committed to offering support that fosters growth, safety, and well-being for all individuals I work with. I am CPR certified in NJ and have driving defensive course certificate through my current employer New Concepts for Living where I am a Residential DSP Supervisor. I grew up in New York City but have been living in Bergen County for over 10 years. I have two daughters who are in college so me and my husband are finally empty nesters lol. I love all pets including reptiles. I am a non-smoker. Outside of work I freelance as a personal stylist/shopper.

"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)."
