Rayna $18 per hour for 1 child

I have 18 years of childcare experience and have worked with many different families and children of all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged children and teens. I genuinely love working with kids and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Over the years, my responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, preparing meals, homework help, bedtime routines, planning activities and outings, running errands, and helping families maintain their daily routines. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping, laundry, organization, and other household tasks. I’m dependable, patient, energetic, and very hands-on. I love arts and crafts, games, outdoor activities, and finding fun ways to keep kids engaged rather than simply sitting them in front of a screen. Having worked with so many different families over the years, I understand that every household and every child is different. I’m adaptable and respectful of each family’s routines and parenting style, and I always prioritize creating a positive and trustworthy relationship with both the children and their parents.

"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)."
