Joset $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone, My name is Joset. I live in Brooklyn and I'm CPR Certified and fully vaccinated. I have more than 20 years experience in Childcare, caring for children from infant through to teen. I'm a very nurturing, loving, dedicated, jovial and fun person. I love caring for children because It's a joy for me to work with them and see their different stages of development and to teach new things while learning from them also. I've cared for 9 months old twin, changing their diaper, feeding them, sterilizing bottles, putting them down for naps, taking them for walks, to music class etc. I cared for mute boys ages 4&2 who were on the spectrum, that allows me to work with speech, occupational and physical therapists. Also I have worked with a 7-year-old who had ADHD for 3 years, whom I took all over New York City to Dr. appointment, museums, zoo, library, picnic in the park, movies and many more. I can commit to any job for long term, I've been on one of my previous job for over 6 years and I also have impeccable references. My current boss is moving and I'm available to start a new job. Looking forward hearing from you. Joset

"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."

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)."
