Yannie $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Yannie, and I offer dependable child care, senior care, and household assistance. As a mother of four children, I have years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through the teenage years. My children range in age from 11 to 26, and raising them has given me patience, compassion, and a strong understanding of children’s needs. In addition to raising my own children, I owned and operated a licensed family daycare, where I provided a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children in my care. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. I am CPR and First Aid trained through my previous family daycare experience and have always made the safety and well-being of those in my care my highest priority. I also have experience caring for seniors, both professionally and personally. In addition to caring for my own mother, I have provided care and companionship for other seniors as well. I can assist with companionship, transportation to appointments, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, and daily activities while helping seniors maintain their comfort, dignity, and independence. In addition, I offer household assistance, including cooking, cleaning, organizing, laundry, and running errands when needed. I especially enjoy preparing Puerto Rican and Spanish-inspired home-cooked meals. I am also happy to care for pets, including feeding, walking, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I take pride in being dependable, caring, patient, and trustworthy. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I strive to treat every child, senior, pet, and home with the same kindness, respect, and dedication that I would want for my own family. I look forward to becoming a reliable helping hand and a positive part of your family’s daily life.

"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)."
