Hello my name is Alesia but of course not all the little ones can’t pronounce my name so I often go by ( Ms Lee) . I have been working with children for over 8 years in the positions of babysitting, nanny, ,daycare assistant, preschool teacher, and tutor. I have worked with all ages from newborns to 16 years old. I am a healthcare professional who loves taking on extra duties after work . I know it’s been rough for since the pandemic but Ms Lee is here to help you and your family . I am fully vaccinated .

Alesia was simply fantastic. She communicated quickly regarding the job, was prompt, professional, flexible and most importantly, took fantastic care of our kids and pets. She was very focused on our kids safety and well being. All the while being attentive, fun and outgoing. She interacted with our 15 year old appropriately and spent lots of time actively engaging our high energy 10 year old. Our 10 year old could not say enough good things about how much fun Alesia was. Games, songs, dancing, telling stories, etc. When we got home, Alesia gave us a full rundown of the evening. When we checked on our kids in bed, the words our 10 year old managed to mutter in the dark were "Best. Babysitter. Ever." Alesia is on our "first call" list of sitters! Highly recommended!

Hi! My name is Summer, and I'm a dedicated professional nanny with over 10+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I'm also a proud mom to a 15-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son. When my son was in preschool , I also worked as a substitute one day a week, further deepening my passion for early childhood education. I'm currently seeking a loving family to grow with-one where I can build a lasting, trusting relationship and contribute to a nurturing, enriching environment for their children. I offer much more than childcare: I support families by handling meal prep, children's laundry, light housekeeping, pick-ups and drop-offs, and any day-to-day kid-related tasks. I especially enjoy planning fun adventures and outings that keep little ones engaged, active, and happy.

Summer has been a wonderful sitter for our family over the years as we’ve expanded from one child to three. She’s always punctual, responsible, and fun during her time with them. She’s been a great resource to us for occasional, recurring, and overnight care. Thanks Summer!

"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

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)."
