Mafe $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mafe, second year au pair (nanny) from South America. In Colombia I was a preschool English teacher and a babysitter. I have experience with big groups of kids and all ages (especially infants and toddlers) During my first year in the US I was taking care of two girls (3 and 5 years) and now, I am taking care of three kids (1, 4 and 6 years). I am a responsible, calm, creative, empathetic and loving person! I have lots of childcare experience. I love spending time with kids because of their energy and happiness, and if I have the materials, I love doing lots of activities, crafts and playtime. I am open to watch kids during daynights, daytime babysitting, going out, making craft, playdates, playtime, reading books, etc.

Booked by 3 families in West Islip, NY

I am currently working as an au pair and will be looking for a full-time nanny position after my au pair year ends on November 27. I am taking care of two children at the moment, aged 18 months and 4 years. I have been caring for them since they were 3 months and 3 years old. Before coming here, I volunteered at a daycare for two months, helping care for about 20 children aged 2–5 (not by myself). I have plenty of experience with young kids and am also looking for part-time work, such as date nights or weekends. I can also provide a reference from my host family.

Still getting to know her. So far we like her. Caring and wonderful!

"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)."
