Cemile $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I have experience caring for children ranging from 3 weeks old to 7 years old, including newborns, infants, babies, toddlers, and young children. I’m very comfortable with kids and have always found it easy to connect with them. I’m calm, patient, attentive, and responsible, which is especially important to me when caring for babies and very young children. I’m comfortable with feeding, bottles, diaper changes, naps and bedtime routines, playtime, reading, walks, and keeping children entertained and engaged while following the parents’ preferred routine. I have a PhD in Biomedical Engineering and previously worked as a university research professor and consultant. I’m currently between full-time positions, so my schedule is very flexible for daytime, evening, and occasional babysitting. I understand that leaving your child with someone requires a lot of trust. I’m dependable, communicative, and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting preferences, and my priority is making sure your child feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

"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)."
