Blake $28 per hour for 1 child

Hey there my name is Blake! I’m a 24 year old who’s been living in New York Bronx with a roommate for about a year now. I was raised in the Ivory Coast which makes me fluently bilingual in French. I’ve had a lot more experiences with caregiving than childcare before, and would like to further expand my experience with kids because they are a lot more fun and jovial and very heartfelt little creatures. They also have a lot more energy, which I do too. I was a nanny for about over year before moving to New York, and It was amazing to me, to see how much you can learn from those you’re meant to be teaching. It was a little boy of the age of 6 who had a lot of curiosity. This was actually particular to him, as he was a very smart boy. My time with him was mostly play, feeding, staying home, shower, going to the park, and whatever activities we could find to do. Music, dancing and lots of jumps were very common activities to him. It seemed to be very stimulating, or sometimes very heartfelt which was either funny to watch or cool to live in general. It’s been my pleasure to share these little bit of things with you and I can’t wait to meet you and your babies for more to happen. Thank you!

"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)."
