Marbelis Nueva York
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Marbelis. I am offering child care and household services. I have experience caring for children of different ages and hold both a childcare certification and a First Aid certificate. I truly enjoy spending time with kids, creating a safe, fun, and educational environment where they can feel comfortable and happy. I am multilingual—I speak Spanish, French, and Dutch—which helps me connect with families from different backgrounds. Families describe me as respectful, patient, and trustworthy. I am also hardworking, disciplined, and very responsible with my duties. In addition to childcare, I can assist with light household tasks, help with homework, prepare simple meals, and organize creative activities that keep children engaged and learning. Caring for children is something I truly enjoy, and I take pride in being someone families can trust.

I know how to cook and also I’m opened to learn more new things about cooking. I’m currently not driving so taking public transportation won’t be a problem. I’m available throughout the week and not on the weekends unless I’m needed.

"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)."
