Patricia $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a Certified Nursing Assistant with a penchant for providing high-quality care. My approach to patient interaction is characterized by a blend of professionalism and empathy. I find fulfillment in nurturing others back to health, an endeavor I embarked upon at the age of 18 when I assumed the responsibility of caring for my grandmother following her leg injury. This experience served as the catalyst for obtaining my Certified Nursing Assistant certification. My duties encompass a range of activities of daily living, including feeding, bathing, dressing, grooming, oral care, and changing of clients and bed linens. Additionally, I am proficient in taking vital signs and am certified in CPR. I firmly believe that the compassionate nature of caregiving not only enhances efficiency and patience but also fosters a heightened sense of gratitude for life and loved ones.

Booked by 1 family in Harrisburg, PA

Hi families! My name is Arlene, I’m a mom of 1; My awesome boy, Mason. I am creative, dependable, and a flexible caregiver with over 5 years of experience working with children of all ages — from infants to school-aged. Being that I am also a proud mother myself, it has given me an even deeper understanding of the love, patience, and trust that families look for in a caregiver. I have a deep passion for helping children learn, grow, and feel safe and loved. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish and very comfortable supporting children with special needs. I love incorporating music, storytelling, art, and play-based learning into my care — every moment is an opportunity to nurture a child’s development while having fun. Whether you’re looking for a date night sitter, occasional backup, or someone your kids will feel excited to see, I’d be honored to support your family, as well as your pets. Let’s connect!

“Arlene was so great with my 14 month old son! He took a 1.5 hour nap and ate like normal. She didn’t use any screen time with him for the full 5 hours I booked her! Impressive! And I didn’t even ask her to do that, although it is always my preference. She offered to do it without screen time! She is so kind and nurturing, I highly recommend her!”

"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

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)."
