Hi! I'm Flor I’m originally from Argentina 🇦🇷 and I have around 10 years of childcare experience through nannying, tutoring, teaching, and working as an au pair. For the past 2 years, I’ve worked long-term with a wonderful NYC family, supporting their daughter from ages 10–12 as her needs evolved over time. My responsibilities included school pick-ups/drop-offs, taking her to activities, meal prep, laundry, helping maintain routines and organization, creating engaging activities, and providing a warm, dependable, and supportive environment overall. I also helped care for the family dog. In addition to nannying, I have a strong educational background and over 4 years of experience tutoring and teaching English to elementary-aged children. I’ve worked with kids ranging from preschool age to pre-teens, helping with homework, reading, writing, Spanish exposure, creative learning, emotional support, and building healthy routines through a balance of structure, patience, and fun. I’m active, warm, reliable, organized, adaptable, and genuinely love working with children. I enjoy arts & crafts, outdoor activities, sports (especially soccer!), board games, reading, and creating meaningful connections with the kids and families I work with. I’m currently available for summer and long-term positions, and I’m open to nanny, family assistant, and educational support roles. Excellent references are available upon request

“Flor is one of a kind, an absolute gem! We hired her to be our nanny, but she turned out to be so much more. She was an amazing teacher, role model, care taker, and most importantly she became an amazing part of our family. My daughter blossomed so much under Flor’s care. Flor’s many talents accelerated my daughter’s reading, writing, math and social skills (manners too!). Flor has an incredible capacity for patience and connection with the little ones and even us grown folk as well:) We entrusted Flor to care for our daughter not only on the day to day but also for overnight stays. The only concern we ever had was upon our return if our little girl was going to eat our cooking again, because Flor’s is out of this world. She is also incredibly trust worthy. We gave her the “keys to the castle” and she never spent a penny that wasn’t pertinent to the position You will never find anyone better than Flor. If you want the best for your child, then look no further.”

I am an upbeat, attentive,patient, athletic, creative, reliable, health/safety-conscious, affectionate, interactive, articulate, fun and highly- nurturing woman who has over 10 years experience working in childcare(ages 6 wks-11 yrs). I've also been employed as a Hatha Yoga instructor to NYC public schools' 1st, 2nd, 4th & 5th graders as part of an experimental remedial reading/writing art program, as well as an actor in Children's Theatre, where I loved to make a young audience laugh & learn by becoming silly, educational characters. I genuinely enjoy engaging a child/ren in safe, fun, creative, developmentally-aimed play & learning, while, of course, attending to their hygiene & diet. Having cared for children from Harlem to the Hamptons, I feel quite fortunate to be able to earn a living by sharing the delightful, stimulating, and yes, challenging company of a child, as I create a supportive, safe, fun, creative, happy, healthy & loving environment, in which we can both happily learn & grow. Some of my experience has included working with disabled adults and with verbally-delayed & emotionally-challenged children. Resume with numerous letters of recommendation available upon request.

“We cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. She has been with our family for three years, starting when our eldest was just 6 months old and seamlessly welcoming our second son, born in 2024. She truly loves our boys like her own — and they feel it. What makes her exceptional is her total presence and genuine investment in our kids' development. She is never on her phone — always engaged, always stimulating: reading, singing, playing music, and getting them outside. She proactively recommends books, toys, and activities perfectly suited to each child's age and personality. When we moved from NYC to NJ, she chose to commute rather than leave our boys. That says everything. Any family would be lucky to have her.”

Booked by 3 families in Sunnyside, NY

While I am in between jobs, I find that I have free time (way too much of it!) and would love the opportunity to spend that time babysitting. I have babysat, nannied, taught Sunday School, worked in my church nursery, volunteered with after-school programs, tutored students--you name it--and I'm eager to get back into childcare. I am an energetic, creative, and responsible babysitter with 15+ years of experience caring for children ranging from 8 months to early teens. I pride myself on my ability to create fun, engaging, and educational activities, while always prioritizing children’s safety and well-being. I am certified by the American Red Cross in Child First Aid/CPR/AED. I am happy to provide a more detailed description of my experience upon request.

"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)."
