Griselda $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi — my name is Griselda, and I'm offering child care in NYC. I love being a caregiver and have been watching over newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age kids for 24 years. My responsibilities have included daily routines, playtime, meals, and speaking Spanish together so kids can build their language skills." I bring warmth, patience, and energy to everything I do, and I'm always attentive to the children in my care. I deeply understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone's child — every family's trust means everything to me, and I care for each child's well being as if they were my own grandchildren. I am available to work weekends and evenings, and travel with the family when needed. Spanish is my native language, and I'm also fluent in English.

"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)."
