With a strong foundation in early childhood development and exceptional organizational skills, I am excited to bring my experience and dedication to your school community. I am currently seeking a full-time position as a teaching assistant while continuing my education, and I am open to adapting to different roles and learning opportunities that support both my professional growth and your school’s needs. I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively with both parents and colleagues, and I am known for being nurturing, patient, and attentive when working with children. My experience as a substitute paraprofessional for one year allowed me to support students from diverse backgrounds, including those with varying learning needs and disabilities. Additionally, my time at Belmont Community Daycare Center helped me build a strong, hands-on understanding of child care and early learning environments. I am CPR certified and hold additional certifications that support my ability to provide a safe and supportive environment for students. I am confident in my ability to contribute positively as a teaching assistant and to grow

✔CPR ✔Vaccinated + Booster Shot Sleep Support Trained Doula Welcoming a child to the world is the most amazing life experience but it's also far from being an easy task specially newborns who usually switch days per night. Sleep deprivation is real and it's a common issue for all parents and also for children, with that being said having the right sleep support is crucial for families wellness. I offer gentle sleep support for newborns and siblings support during daytime. We can plan the method that will better sooth your child and support your family. Looking forward to helping out families with my 11+ years of expertise in Childcare.

Hello Everyone!! I'm Alycia and I am 29 years old. I graduated from Pace university in lower Manhattan studying health science. I have about 13 years of experience babysitting for different families around New Jersey and New York. Also, I am the oldest of my 3 siblings and take care of them whenever my parents need me to. The ages that I have experience babysitting for are ages 4 months to 10 years. I worked as a children's party host for 3 years, in which children of different ages were entrusted to my care. My duties as a party host were to make sure that each child was fed, safe, and having fun at all times. At my job, the minimum amount of kids I would watch at a time would be 10 and the maximum could be up to 25. I am very creative, organized, energetic, and friendly. As a babysitter, I believe it's important to keep the kids engaged so I love to play games, activities, and crafts. I hope that I am the right fit for your family ! I can supply references upon request .Thank you !

"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)."
