i am new to urban sitter! Hi everybody, my name is Farhana. I have a strong background in caregiving with hands-on experience supporting kids of all ages, seniors, and even household pets, which has helped me develop the patience, empathy, and reliability families look for in a great caregiver. I’ve worked in daycares, after-school programs, and as a substitute teacher and teacher’s aide, giving me a solid understanding of child development, safety, and behavior support. My personality is warm, calm, and nurturing, and I’m skilled at creating routines, helping with homework, managing behaviors, and keeping kids engaged through fun and educational activities. I’m also comfortable assisting seniors with daily tasks and providing companionship, and I handle household responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, and organizing with ease. Altogether, my experience, strong communication, and genuine love for helping others make me a dependable and caring support for any family.

"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)."
