Siana $19 per hour for 1 child

Good morning Families, My name is Siana and I have over 5+ years of paid childcare experience from my work at ChildCareCareers and the Daniel Eric Rumph Foundation. While at CCC I worked as an onsite teacher assist for several classrooms at once at varies locations handling many different kinds of children acquiring both my CPR and First Aid Certifications, as for the “Rumph Foundation” I was an afternoon cooking instructor for different age groups. During that time I not only enjoyed creating a safe, fun and supportive environment where kids can learn and play but also feel comfortable being themselves. I love helping with activities such as crafts, outdoor play, games and homework when needed. Families would describe me as dependable and easy to communicate with as I always aim to make both the parent and child feel at ease. I’m happy to answer any questions your might have and would love to connect with your family!

"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

"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)."
