Mehak $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mehak and I am about to wrap up my third year in a school-clinical child psychology doctoral program. I have been working with kids and adolescents of various ages over the past 10 years during my undergraduate and graduate careers. I am passionate and hopeful about becoming a child psychologist in the future, specifically implementing types of therapy such as play therapy and creative arts therapy. I think this sets me up for success when it comes to interacting with children because I prioritize a solution-focused and strengths-based approach when navigating issues related to discipline and educating children. Outside of my work in psychology, I love seeing live music, comedy shows, doing karaoke with friends, and exploring restaurants and dessert shops with friends. I also really love going to the beach during the summer and journaling!

"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)."
