$17 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 14 families in New York, NY

I am a 37 year old Brooklyn native, who obtained my Bachelors Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have an Associates Degree from Kingsborough Community College also in Early Childhood Education. I’ve taught 3rd grade and worked with children in daycare as well as preschool settings. I am the eldest of five children. My sibling's age range from 15, 19, 20, 26. I have experience with special needs children for my sister, age 19, has mild cerebral palsy. My family owns a daycare which is where I have gained most of my experience. My experience with after school aged children involved providing help with homework and snack preparation. My speciality is working with children who have lots of energy. I enjoy being involved in activities such as: story time, arts and crafts, cooking activities, and play time which fosters one on one communication and developmental growth. I am a very organized, punctual, positive, and hard working individual. Working with children is my passion!

Odessa is extremely warm and patient. My three year old loved her and instantly had a connection with her. Our 10-month old also bonded with her from the first day. She was very communicative and the kids had a great time with her. My business trip to NYC with the kids is going very smoothly because of her. I would highly highly recommend hiring her to take care of your kids!

I have experience working as a camp counselor at a day camp and as an intern at a daycare. In addition to providing a loving and engaging environment, crafts, and even tutoring, some of my duties have involved monitoring to guarantee everyone's safety. In addition, I can do errands and clean as a household assistant.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
