Booked by 2 families in Forest Hills, NY

I have almost 10 years of childcare experience. I have a B.A. from SDSU in Psychology with a focus in child development. I am a preschool/afterschool program teacher working with infants up to school-age. I have two years of prior experience as an in-home development specialist, leading play-based therapy for families with children ages 0-3 who needed a little extra support or those with developmental delays. I assessed milestones and implemented goals based on their overall development abilities - focusing on fine/gross motor, cognitive, communication skills, and more. I additionally have experience working with children with special needs and developmental disabilities such as down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, children with feeding needs/allergies, and SMA type 1. I have active CPR, First Aid, and mandated reporter certificates in CA, and strong references upon request. Fun facts about me: I am a musician, I am a triplet, and I fluently speak Italian and some Spanish. I am a proud owner of two cats and I love animals and the outdoors. Thank you for reading and I look forward to meeting you!!

While I am in between jobs, I find that I have free time (way too much of it!) and would love the opportunity to spend that time babysitting. I have babysat, nannied, taught Sunday School, worked in my church nursery, volunteered with after-school programs, tutored students--you name it--and I'm eager to get back into childcare. I am an energetic, creative, and responsible babysitter with 15+ years of experience caring for children ranging from 8 months to early teens. I pride myself on my ability to create fun, engaging, and educational activities, while always prioritizing children’s safety and well-being. I am certified by the American Red Cross in Child First Aid/CPR/AED. I am happy to provide a more detailed description of my experience upon request.

Hi! My name is Arline, I’m 24 years old and I love spending time with children. I’ve been taking care of kids since I was 15. I have experience caring for children ages 0–12 and enjoy helping them learn and have fun. I’m bilingual (English/Spanish) and would love to teach them what I know. I can help with: * Painting and crafts * Cooking * Light housekeeping * School drop-off and pick-up * After-school activities * Homework help * Trips to the park, playdates, movies, etc. * Playing and spending quality time together * Pet care

I highly recommend her. She has taken care of my son many times and is such a kind, caring, and trustworthy person.

"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)."
