Booked by 2 families in Jamaica, NY

Hi everyone! My name is Elena, and I’m currently looking for a new family to work with as a babysitter/nanny. I have 3+ years of professional childcare experience, as well as years of experience helping raise and care for my younger siblings. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once and have experience with children of different ages, including nannying for a baby. I’m very hands-on and genuinely enjoy being involved with the children — playing, doing activities, going outside, helping with routines, and creating a real connection with them. I also really value getting to know and work closely with the whole family. I’d be happy to share more about my experience and provide references. 😊

“We love Elena! She is so punctual, good with our three kids 10, 7 and 6M plus our dog, Samba! Elena is reliable and committed. Lucky to have her! ”

"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."

"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)."
