Alex $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there - I'm Alex, and I have recently relocated back to the area for the summer season. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I love caring for others and have 10+ years of experience watching infants, toddlers, kids, and teenagers. My responsibilities have included activity planning, driving, tutoring, meal preparations, and event planning. I also thoroughly enjoy organization and work as a household assistant. I can cook, clean, and run errands as needed. Additionally, I’m a pet lover, and I'm happy to accommodate your furry (or not-so-furry) family members. I'd also like to say that as a professional caregiver, I understand the importance of providing the highest quality care for your child in the comfort of your own home. I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for your child, while maintaining a high level of professionalism at all times. My experience and qualifications, combined with my passion for working with children, make me confident that I can provide the best possible care for your child in your home, ensuring their safety, well-being, and development are always a top priority.

"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)."
