I am a compassionate, dedicated, and adaptable caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for babies, pets, and seniors. Growing up in a large family, I began babysitting my cousins as early as high school, which gave me a deep understanding of the responsibility and patience required to care for young children. Additionally, being raised by my grandparents taught me firsthand the joys and challenges of caring for seniors, shaping my empathetic and respectful approach. These personal experiences, combined with my professional dedication, make me a trustworthy and skilled caregiver. From a young age, I embraced the responsibility of looking after children in my extended family. Babysitting my cousins while still in high school taught me not only how to manage their needs but also how to create a nurturing and safe environment. These early experiences instilled in me a natural affinity for caring for babies, which has only grown over the years. As someone who understands the special bond between humans and animals, I am deeply committed to providing attentive and loving care for pets. My flexible work schedule and remote lifestyle enable me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need to feel safe and happy. What sets me apart as a caregiver is the foundation of family values that shaped my lifeGrowing up in a large family and being surrounded by different generations taught me to appreciate the beauty of caregiving at every stage of life. Whether it was babysitting my younger cousins or helping my grandparents with daily tasks, I learned early on the importance of patience, empathy, and responsibility. These experiences not only prepared me to care for others but also gave me a genuine passion for helping families, pets, and seniors thrive. Caregiving is more than just a role for me—it is a way of life shaped by my upbringing and personal values. I bring a wealth of experience, unwavering dedication, and a warm, nurturing approach to every caregiving situation. By choosing me, you’re not just hiring a caregiver—you’re inviting someone into your family who will treat your loved ones with the same love, respect, and attentiveness I’ve offered my own family throughout my life. Whether it’s a baby’s laughter, a pet’s wagging tail, or a senior’s smile, I am committed to creating moments of joy and comfort for those in my care.

Amazing dog sitter! So great with dogs and goes above and beyond to help out.

Eliana $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I've worked in childcare for about nine years. I love watching kids and seeing them learn and grow every day. Kids have always brightened my day and remind me why I love working with them as much as I do. I worked for the YMCA at their aftercare program and summer program. My responsibilities for aftercare were making sure kids completed their homework, had fun activities planned and were safe. For the summer program, I was a music teacher and taught kids from 3-8 years old. I can cook, drive or do other tasks. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs.

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my true passion. With six years of experience caring for up to four children, I provide a patient, creative, and calm environment for kids aged newborn through pre-teen. My background includes Early Child Development coursework, CPR Training, and First Aid Training. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, carpooling, and crafts. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I am fully prepared to provide attentive swimming supervision. I enjoy engaging children through board games, puzzles, and educational apps that spark learning. I maintain open communication by following your preferred method, whether through daily reports or regular updates. I am very comfortable upholding your household rules to ensure consistency. I look forward to bringing my dedication and energy to your family, helping your children grow and thrive every single day.

Great service and help. Highly recommended

I’ve been working with childcare since very young, I have experience with kids at ages from newborn to 7yo, eventually caring for older kids too. Right now I have full time week job where I take care of a 15 months old boy. I have a Nurse degree back home (Brazil) and I was specializing to be a Pediatrician Nurse when I joined the Au Pair program. I'm now applying to be an a teacher for the little ones because I found that to be much more meaningful for where I see myself completely satisfied in my professional life. With this nurse background, I have immense knowledge about children's development and how to work with them in every stage of their lives, plus as a personal curiosity I was always very into Child education and parenting studies, and I've done tons of specializations to fill up my curiosity but also to put into a better-qualified position when working with kids. Also, I do have some beliefs related to child education that would be a better fit for me to work with a family with the same approach. I believe in non-violent communication, and positive psychology education, also I have some interest in the Montessori philosophy.

"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)."
