Marisa $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Marisa and I have been caring for children and animals since I was only 10 years old myself. I’m now 25, graduated from the University of Virginia, and living in Brooklyn. As for my experience, I volunteered in 2-3 year old daycare classes throughout middle and high school, have babysat countless family friends children, and I even babysat my high school principals kids! I currently have a three year old niece that I love spending time with, and several newborn baby cousins I help watch when I am home. I have also been a middle school camp counselor for 5 years, and do tutoring with high school students. I am an active dog sitter and walker, and am happy to include pet care in the services I offer. Mostly, I would love to help with your little ones and give them care they need to grow strong. Thank you for considering me!

"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."

"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)."
