With a strong foundation in early childhood development and exceptional organizational skills, I am excited to bring my experience and dedication to your school community. I am currently seeking a full-time position as a teaching assistant while continuing my education, and I am open to adapting to different roles and learning opportunities that support both my professional growth and your school’s needs. I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively with both parents and colleagues, and I am known for being nurturing, patient, and attentive when working with children. My experience as a substitute paraprofessional for one year allowed me to support students from diverse backgrounds, including those with varying learning needs and disabilities. Additionally, my time at Belmont Community Daycare Center helped me build a strong, hands-on understanding of child care and early learning environments. I am CPR certified and hold additional certifications that support my ability to provide a safe and supportive environment for students. I am confident in my ability to contribute positively as a teaching assistant and to grow

My years of experience also come with easily adapting and understanding the individual needs of each baby/child/teen I encounter. I am CPR certified and First Aid Certified.

Booked by 3 families in Astoria, NY

Greeting Everyone, My name is Elizabeth! I am recent grad who majored in Political Science and Latin American and Latino Studies. Iwas also on the pre-law track, as I plan on becoming a lawyer in the future. Four years ago, a majority of my experience is in a non professional sense. As the eldest, I have taken care of my siblings from infancy to the age of 15 years old. I am knowledgable with feeding children, changing diapers, bed time routine, and can help with homework. I would keep them engaged through energizing as well as relaxing activities. I also have experience with overnight routines. However, now I have been able to evolve my experience and taking care of children from ages of newborn - nine years of age. Shuttling them around the city from school to activities, assisted in bath time routines, and overnight feedings. I also have experience with working with children who have special needs, specifically autism. Before college, I worked for about a year with special needs children. I acted as a relief to families, while they ran errands. I assisted with behavioral development, homework, and every day tasks. I love engaging and caring for younger minds. They are so full of questions and I believe it is important to have someone willing to answer these questions rather than stamping out their curiosity. Furthermore, I know what it like to have the fear of caring for yourself or seeing parents stress about leaving their children with a stranger and I want to be that person who can alleviate that stress. To be the person that parents can trust. I look forward to chatting with you all!

"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

"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)."
