Leidy $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Leidy. I have years of experience working in supportive care settings, both with families and in medical environments. I am patient, kind, and attentive. I really enjoy helping children feel comfortable, heard, and understood. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and my background in healthcare has taught me how to stay calm, organized, and aware of safety. I love creating routines and making kids feel secure, whether we are reading, doing crafts, playing games, or having quiet time. I also have two golden retrievers at home, so I am very comfortable around pets and happy to help in homes with animals. I know how important it is for the entire home environment to feel warm and cared for. I truly believe children thrive when they feel valued and supported. I would love to be a positive and reliable part of your family’s day.

This is also true in regards to my extensive education background including lead teacher positions for a variety of age ranges in both play based platforms, Montessori philosophy in private schools and in the home as well. I grew up in a Montessori home, with a mom who is a director of her own Montessori school for over 45 years. I have nannied for multiple families of reputable surgeons, was a lead teacher at The Little Gym for children's gymnastics classes, I worked as a health educator for community events and onsite development at a local hospital created children's museum, & proudly developed a fine art program in my hometown for the same hospitals Pediatric and Peds Hem/ Oncology unit. Here I worked w/ a team to develop, implement, and train volunteers to apply the program through the Child Life Specialists which resulted in a wonderful combination applying both my fine art and creative arts specialties, my extensive child development trainings, & team management skill sets. I love advocating for children & animals, and believe that every child has a voice and deserves to be heard & connected with. I have worked with sensory and special needs. I have thousands of hours of child-development professional training hours and ongoing extended education in the field. I am up to date CPR certified, trained in implementing operations & safety lisencing standards, as well as First Aid certified with hundreds of hours of experience with NICU babies and specialty care for multiple cases of diverse health-sensitive toddlers, infants & newborns. ***I'd love for you to message me for more information if you are interested🙃...as I could go on and on!... but i feel like connecting in person or on the phone really is a great and best place to start, to see if both parties are a good match! From here I can provide more information upon request detailing my history as a nanny and diverse positions in schools and office/admin in educational settings. My list feels endless, however, first and formost a genuine connect matters. After weve decided that we click and i'd be a good extension of your home while youre away, we can then also get more details about schedules, etc to see if we could be a great match for one another! I hope to hear from you soon!🤗

"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)."
