Hi, I'm responsible, punctual, and very caring. I do not drink or smoke at all. I have over 10 years of experience with children, ranging from newborns to teenagers. I love introducing the children I babysit to the different languages I speak. Arts and crafts, outside play, walking to the library, games and reading are activities I enjoy when babysitting. I am excited to meet you and your children!

She was wonderful. Our little one was being a bit moody and I thought it might be a screen night, but she got him to calm down and play, which was outstanding! By the time we came home our little one was happy and asked to see her again.

Leslye is WONDERFUL! Her communication before, while, and after watching my 11-month daughter was great. She is also incredibly caring and responsible, and my daughter was immediately comfortable with her. Leslye made sure they had a fun day - including taking our daughter to the park and the waterfront to see the ducks and birds. I'm really excited to have Leslye come back and any other family would be lucky to have her watch their children as well!

"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)."
