Hi there! I am a mom to a 3 year old boy looking to help you with your babysitting needs. In terms of experience, I have discovered my love of caring for children with my own son, and I have also previously fostered a dog several years ago. Would be happy to facilitate drop off / pickup from daycare, preschool, or school with your child(ren) safe & secure in my 4-seater, 5-point-harness wonderfold wagon (with rain cover). I hold a BA in English Literature and would also love to read with your child. Happy to cook/clean or do errands if you need. Note: My 3 year old would only join us if you need help evenings, weekends, or on days when his preschool is closed.

Augusta $25 per hour for 1 child

I grew up with a paintbrush in one hand and a bug jar in the other, and that's pretty much still true. As a recent Sarah Lawrence graduate steeped in art and culture, I'd love to share that curiosity with kids — turning a rainy afternoon into an art studio on the kitchen table, or a walk to the corner store into a scavenger hunt through history and nature. I believe kids learn best outside, hands dirty, following whatever's caught their attention — a beetle on the sidewalk, a cloud shaped like a dragon, the story behind a statue in the park. I've babysat for family and friends for years, bringing genuine curiosity rather than a checklist of activities. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, so safety's never an afterthought, but I leave room for spontaneity — fort-building, bedtime, and everything between. I show up present and invested, because the best part of this work is watching a kid's face when they've made or discovered something new.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

"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)."
