Leah $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello Parents and/Guardians! I am an extremely experienced nanny based out of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. I come with great references and a passion for what I do, Thank you for taking the time to read this. Childcare is not just a job for me -- it's my career and I've been dedicated to it for over 25 years. I will soon became available after 12 years working for a local pediatrician. I am now looking to connect with a new family in need of dependable, compassionate care. I have worked with all ages and abilities. I am CPR, First Aid, and Heimlich certified, with extensive experience working with children of all abilities, including children with special needs. As an artist and creative person, I love creating engaging, age-appropriate activities that encourage imagination, learning, and fun. I also have experience in low/no-screen households. I have a background in theater and I try to make the mundane activities enjoyable. I believe it takes a village to raise children and I am lucky to be a part of that community through out the years. Do you want your children to be thoughtful people? I enjoy teaching children how to be considerate and appreciative by demonstrating manners and making thoughtful gestures. Want a birthday card or a cute handmade holiday decoration? If this resonates with you, I'd love to connect.

"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)."
