Mawa $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mawa, and I'm a childcare provider based in NYC. I have a year and a half of professional experience working with toddlers and preschoolers (ages 1-4) in a daycare environment, along with individual care for families. Prior to that, I also cared for children of family friends. I'm CPR certified and comfortable assisting with a variety of daily needs. I'm an energetic and playful caregiver who loves having fun, but I also believe in maintaining structure and routine to support a child's growth and sense of security. Some of my favorite activities to do with children include reading, exploring outdoors, and anything hands-on or creative. I strive to make every day engaging, safe, and full of opportunities for learning. Currently, I am looking to work with families within the NYC area only. I'd love to connect and see if we're a good fit!

"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)."
