Hi! I’m Josee—a caring, dependable sitter with 10+ years of experience working with children from newborns to school-age, including those with special needs. I’ve worked as a daycare assistant, preschool assistant, tutor, camp counselor, and elementary special education teacher, so I’m comfortable balancing both fun and structure. I’m especially confident with infant care, routines (feeding, naps, bedtime), and creating a safe, engaging environment for kids of all ages. I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, and I communicate clearly so parents always feel at ease. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks like meal prep, tidying, and errands to support your family’s routine. Looking forward to connecting with your family!

Booked by 3 families in Elmhurst, NY

I have been working with children since 2013. From 2013 to 2016, I taught children in educational settings, which helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. Since 2014, I have also been babysitting and have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I am comfortable caring for two children at the same time. Most recently, I cared for a baby from 1 month old until her first birthday while her mom attended classes at NYU. I also have experience supporting children with special needs. I am a cheerful, patient, and dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I love planning fun, age-appropriate activities, helping with homework, reading stories, playing games, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn and have fun. I also love cats and enjoy taking care of plants, and I always treat every family's home with respect and care. My background in Psychology has strengthened my communication, empathy, and understanding of individual differences, allowing me to connect well with both children and parents.

"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)."
