Ibtissam 1 review
New York
$20 per hour for 1 child

About me: My name is Ibtissam, it is an Arabic name that means Joy; I am 29 years old and I have enrolled in a Masters program at Baruch college in New York City. I speak Italian, English, French and Arabic. I was born and raised in Italy and my family is from Morocco. I have also lived and worked in France. I can teach Italian and French. I greatly enjoy working with children of all ages. I empathize and interact easily with them, while setting boundaries and healthy routines. I am seeking a new childcare job because the family I have been working with in New York moved. I am looking for a full-time childcare job in New York City while pursuing my Masters at Baruch College. My aspiration is to begin a career in marketing in the fashion industry. My experience: I have had extensive experience in childcare across diverse environments. Since the age of 15, I spent my summers working in youth camps in Italy and have extensive experience helping kids with homework. I primarily focused on camps for children between the ages of 6 to 12. More recently, I spent 3 years providing childcare in the United States. My first year was in New York as an au pair where I cared for two boys, aged 3 and 7. I then spent one year as an au pair in Los Angeles, where I cared for a 4 year old and a 6 year old. I returned to the same family in New York to provide childcare while beginning graduate studies. This time, I cared for 3 children as the family had a third son. Type of Childcare Role I am seeking: I am open to live-in or live-out arrangements. I am available to work Monday through Friday, as well as on the weekends. (My courses are held 2-3 evenings a week).

Ibtissam is an is an incredibly skilled, patient, and devoted caregiver. She has provided care for my three boys for two years - two elementary aged children and a baby/toddler. She loves children of all ages and brings a joyful curiosity to the development of each child. She has helped us learn many insights about our kids through her impressive ability to build their trust and friendship while maintaining firm boundaries as an adult caregiver. Ibtissam has provided live in care and through her time living with us, has become like family. She enriches our home with contributing delicious and healthy Italian meals and her warm personality. She is also a very safe driver. We would ideally love to continue having Ibtissam help care for our kids, but we have moved out of state. We hope to see her find a wonderful family. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for a reference call.

"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)."
