Hi parents, Caring for children is more than just a profession for me, it’s a passion that comes from both experience and motherhood. As a devoted mother of two, I understand firsthand the trust, patience and love it takes to nurture and guide children through every stage of development. With over 10 years of childcare experience, I have had the privilege of caring for children of various ages, helping them grow in a safe, engaging and loving environment. I believe every child deserves individualized care, encouragement, and opportunities to learn through play, exploration and meaningful interactions. My approach is centered around creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere where children feel secure, valued and confident. I take pride in supporting developmental milestones, fostering creativity, promoting positive behavior and maintaining open communication with parents. CPR and First Aid certified which adds an extra layer of reassurance, allowing you, the parent to feel confident that their children are in capable hands. As both a caregiver and a mother, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your children with the same level of attention, compassion, and dedication that you would. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family while helping your children thrive, learn, and create joyful memories every day. I look forward to building meaningful connections with families and providing the loving, dependable care every child deserves.

Aleisha is lovely; punctual, warm, proactive and visibly comfortable communicating as well as interacting with kids.

Hello families, my name is Fredlyne. I am a an elementary school teacher. I am also pursuing my masters degree. Prior to this, I was an infant and toddler teacher at two different schools.Therefore, I do have the experience, proper training and certifications. I love children and babysitting not only helps me as a “broke” college student but allows me to get more field experience in teaching and working with children of all ages. I'm looking forward to working with you in making sure the children are safe and well taken care of :)

"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
