Booked by 3 families in Jamaica, NY

Hi families, I’m Yirma ! I’ve always had a natural connection with children, which started at a young age while helping care for my younger brother from infancy to now, at age 11. Through that experience, I’ve become confident in caring for children and comfortable with many aspects of childcare, including diaper changes, bathing, feeding, tidying up, laundry, school drop offs and pick ups, taking children to appointments and activities, and helping with homework. I also have experience working with neurodivergent children and understand the importance of being patient, adaptable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I am someone who is patient, compassionate, and empathetic, and I strive to bring those qualities into every aspect of my care. I really enjoy spending time with children in fun and meaningful ways, whether that’s playing with them, drawing and painting, or spending time outside exploring and enjoying fresh air. I also enjoy helping with learning and simply being present with them in a positive, engaging way. I’d love the opportunity to speak further and see how I can support your family. I look forward to hearing from you !

Yirma is amazing! My super active son loved being with her. We will recommend her 100%.

"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)."
