Hi families! As a formal and reserved childcare professional with +8years of experience, I'm dedicated to supporting families by providing reliable childcare services. My passion for positively impacting children's lives stems from my previous babysitting roles, where I discovered my aptitude for nurturing and caring for young minds. When it comes to communication with parents, I adapt to their preferred method, ensuring open and effective dialogue about their child's day and any concerns that may arise. My approach to household rules is guided by the parents' lead, respecting their parenting style and values. I thrive in engaging children through various games and activities, from outdoor sports and physical games to board games and puzzles. My graduate degree has equipped me with a strong educational background that complements my childcare skills. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children and have experience with a wide range of age groups, from toddlers to preteens.

She’s amazing!! I have known her for a long time and she’s a very trustworthy and responsible person! She’s great with kids.

Hey! My name is Victoria and I’m looking forward into going back to babysitting. I’m Venezuelan and I fluently speak Spanish and English. I'm a certified PCA with certifications I can show upon request. I’ve been working with kids pretty much my entire life, I started with my cousins and then my nephews and nieces, they’d always make my day better back home, playing around and watching them was a really nice experience and that’s why I decided to be a babysitter, I’ve work with infants and toddlers, but all ages are fine with me. I love taking the kids to the playground or the park if it’s a nice sunny day but if not I love indoor activities too like playing games, doing homework, singing songs, dancing, reading or maybe watching a movie if the kids are not in the mood for playing, I’m a big Disney fan. I’m super comfortable with pets, even have some of my own and i’m very happy to work with families that have pets.

Victoria is an incredible sitter. And sitter isn’t even sufficient to describe the support she provided to my son and I. Yes, she can easily do all the tasks required. More than that, she does them with genuine care and goes above and beyond. We miss her terribly and if she lived closer, I’d find every excuse to have her here. My father was hospitalized during our time together. My son was about 4. I got the call and had to race to the airport. Without hesitation she said she’d figure it out and I could take the time I needed. That’s who she is.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
