Booked by 1 family in Jamaica, NY

Hi! My name is Riley and I am a 29 y/o female from New Orleans looking to help out some families in the area! I have worked with several families in New York doing school pick-up and after school activities, helping out with dinner and and bedtime. I have experience with 3-12 year olds creating a fun environment and finding interactve activities around the city. Most recently I worked as the Art Head for a children's sleep-away camp for 7-13 year olds in Vermont. Before New York I worked in Madrid Spain where I was a 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade teacher. I have also worked as a Personal Assistant in New Orleans where I was in charge of house management (grocery shopping, minor housekeeping, house organization, and pet care). I am happy to work with both cats and dogs and would love to help where I am needed!

Our four-year-old felt comfortable with Riley right off the bat, which is not always the case with new caregivers! Riley is kind and trustworthy and we’re excited to work with her again soon.

"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)."
