Audrey $14 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a responsible, attentive, and hardworking caregiver who genuinely loves working with children. I earned my Associate’s Degree while still in high school, which taught me strong time management and responsibility. I have babysat for two families consistently over the past three years and have experience caring for children of different ages. Growing up with three younger siblings has also given me plenty of hands-on childcare experience. I’m patient, dependable, and enjoy creating a fun, safe environment for kids. I also have a dog, so I’m comfortable caring for pets as well. One thing families appreciate about me is that I’m very present and engaged—I prefer spending quality time with children rather than being on my phone. Whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, doing crafts, or keeping routines on track, I strive to be a positive and trustworthy caregiver.

"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)."
