Hi, I’m Caroly. I’m offering child care and household services. I’m CPR certified. I like being a babysitter because I worked with kids and teenagers for many years as a teacher in Peru. Then I started babysitting here since 2022. I took care of 3 kids at the same time (6, 9, 11) . My responsibilities have included: * drop/ pick up from school * Take them to after school activities * Help with homework * Make snacks/ light dinner for kids * Keep their rooms organized * Take them to the park, play dates, cinema, etc * Do art & crafts * Play and spend fun time together l work as a household assistant and can, clean, help with laundry and run errands. Also, I want to let you know that I had a baby last year so now I can say that I have experience with babies, too. I am also happy to work with families with dogs and cats.

Caroly was prompt and responsive to my son and did an amazing job with some great creative activities and engaging play with him. I would definitely recommend her thoughtful and kind approach.

"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)."
