Booked by 1 family in Mechanicsburg, 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."

"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)."
