Layla $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Layla and I am a nanny with 10+ years of experience caring for children ranging in ages 0-14. I have a dual bachelors degree in psychology and theater, which means I have an understanding of how to apply principles of child development and provide care with a sense of warmth and unconditional positive regard. It also means I can nail story time like it’s nobody’s business :) I like to work with families who view childcare with an “it takes a village” approach, and who are willing to game plan together when it comes to working through routines, milestones, schedule changes, behavioral bumps in the road, and anything else the wonderful world of parenting might throw at us. Bonus points if you value a strong sense of humor. I am looking for 32-36 hours a week, 4 days a week (or 3 longer days), from about 8am-5pm (but I can be a little flexible). I am looking to start my new position at the end of September/beginning of October and no later than the end of October. I am so looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

"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."

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)."
