Hi I'm Thandi and I've been babysitting for over 10 years but 5 years paid experience. I'm the youngest sibling of 7 children and I've been caring for my siblings' kids since I was 12 years old. I’m currently working with kids who are on the spectrum and I’ve learnt more about special needs and I’m able to cater accordingly. I have a teaching certificate I can help with early childhood development and speech or school age kids. I’m a social worker by profession and I have empathy and good principles. I’m flexible, easily adapt and listen to instructions. I’m a good communicator and willing to compromise. I’m caring, loving, kind energetic and friendly. I’m computer literate, I can also help with admin work. I have a dog and I’m comfortable around animals. Some of the duties I do with kids includes: ● Driving kids to school and activities. ● Preparing meals and cleaning up afterwards. ● Making school lunches. Preparing breakfast and dinner ● Helping with homework and tutoring and playing with them. ● Help with bath time. ● Doing kids' laundry. ● Keeping the kids' room tidy and organized. ● Dressing kids Potty training Reading bed time stories I have been a care taker for my siblings kids and my late grandmother.

A little about me: I’m respectful, responsible, punctual, outgoing, and truly passionate about caring for children. I take my responsibilities seriously, always bring a positive attitude, and do my best to create a safe, happy, and comfortable environment for every child in my care. I’m also a mom to a sweet 1 year old, which has given me even more hands-on experience with routines, meals, naps, playtime, and all the little moments that come with caring for young children. For daytime positions, my son would usually come with me, so I always like to be upfront about that. I’m very comfortable caring for more than one child at a time and balancing different ages and routines. For evening or nighttime babysitting, my baby would not need to come with me, since he sleeps through the night. That gives me more flexibility for date nights, dinners, events, or occasional evening care. I love keeping kids engaged both indoors and outdoors through creative play, reading, crafts, walks, playground time, libraries, and age-appropriate activities. I enjoy getting to know each child’s personality and interests so I can make our time together fun, meaningful, and special. I’m active, patient, creative, and full of energy… sometimes I think I have even more energy than the little ones! 😊 I’m also happy to help with occasional evenings or weekends if parents would like some time for a date night, errands, or plans with friends. CPR Certified. I’d love the opportunity to connect with your family and see if we could be a great fit!

Hello, Parents! My name is Mekayla, I’m 20 years old and I am a senior at Pace University. I've lived here my entire life and chose to stay for college because of the opportunities, including working with your amazing children! I have 5 years years of professional experience. I began volunteering at a daycare center in middle school and soon after began working there during the summer gaining more hands on experience. In 10th grade, I also started my own babysitting business and that’s when I realized my true love and skill for babysitting and creating bonds with lil ones throughout that experience. I worked over the summer as well at a sports camp at a country club and truly enjoyed that experience because I am so active and energized being a college lacrosse player. So babysitting is the best of both worlds for me! I also can help with any housework you may require, as well as assist your children with any homework they may have.

Mekayla kept my VERY active 8-year-old entertained for the entire 5-hour job with a variety of activities. She is friendly, professional, and child-focused. Would definitely hire again!

By far the best babysitter we’ve had in our 8 years of having babysitters. The morning after, our son asked if we could have her come again since he enjoyed their time together so much. This from a kid who never wants babysitters. She is an excellent communicator, super engaging, and gave up the utmost confidence our kid was in great hands.

"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)."
