Hi! I'm a college student looking for part-time babysitting opportunities. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I enjoy spending time with kids of all ages. I have experience in a child development setting where I planned lesson plans and activities for children, so I enjoy finding fun and engaging ways to keep kids entertained while helping them learn. I’m comfortable with pets, have reliable transportation, and can help with after-school care, activities, meals, and creating a safe environment for children. I’m looking for flexible babysitting jobs and would love the opportunity to help your family.

I have always been passionate about working with children and find true joy in helping them grow and develop. Whether it's through educational activities, providing care, or simply being a positive role model, I am deeply committed to making a meaningful impact on their lives. I believe in fostering an environment where children feel supported and encouraged, and I look forward to pursuing any opportunity that allows me to do what makes me happiest—helping children reach their full potential. I worked as an Early Childhood Educator for around 2 years, providing care and educational support to infants and toddlers. My responsibilities included teaching foundational skills such as colors, ABCs, numbers, and songs through engaging and interactive activities. I ensured a safe and nurturing environment where the children felt secure and comfortable. Additionally, I assisted with feeding, diapering, and maintaining daily routines, while promoting healthy sleep habits by supporting naptime routines. I developed age-appropriate lesson plans to foster developmental milestones and encouraged social, cognitive, and motor skills. My focus was always on creating a positive, trusting relationship with each child, helping them feel safe, cared for, and ready to learn. I am also an active member of a sorority at my college, where I contribute to both the community and my personal development. Alongside my involvement, I maintain a strong academic record, consistently earning Honor Roll status throughout my education. My dedication to balancing my academic responsibilities with extracurricular commitments showcases my strong work ethic, time management, and ability to thrive in dynamic environments.

"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)."
