Nilysha $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nilysha 😊 I’m currently a nursing student with a passion for caring for others, especially children. I’ve always loved being around kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I have experience working with children as both a swim instructor and lifeguard, which taught me patience, responsibility, communication, and how to stay calm and attentive in all situations. I’m also CPR/BLS certified and currently gaining hands-on experience through pediatric and maternity nursing clinicals as I work toward my dream of becoming a NICU nurse practitioner one day. I also grew up as the youngest in a big family and have 10 nephews ranging from toddlers to teenagers, so I’ve been surrounded by kids my whole life! Being involved in their lives has helped me learn how to connect with different personalities and age groups while always being caring, dependable, and understanding. I would describe myself as bubbly, kind, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I enjoy activities like arts & crafts, reading, movies, games, homework help, and simply making kids feel comfortable and entertained while keeping safety the top priority. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your children, and I always strive to make families feel supported and at ease 😊

$25 per hour for 1 child

Being part of a child’s happiness, growth, and development is incredibly rewarding, and I truly love what I do. I enjoy helping babies, toddlers, and children reach new milestones, learn new skills, and build confidence. Watching a child accomplish something new brings me so much joy because I know I’m helping them grow into amazing individuals. I am caring, patient, dependable, and attentive, and I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for every child in my care. I have over 10 years of babysitting experience caring for children of different ages. In addition to providing quality childcare, I have assisted with household duties, meal preparation, light housekeeping, school pick-ups and drop-offs, and transportation to after-school activities and appointments. I enjoy supporting busy families and giving parents peace of mind, knowing their children are in caring and capable hands.

She’s great with kids, she has a lot of patient. She’s is passionate with job. I strongly recommend her.

"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)."
