Delaram Herndon
$17 per hour for 1 child

I have hands-on experience providing care for children, seniors, and pets, as well as helping with household tasks. I’ve worked in caregiving roles where I supported daily routines, provided companionship, and made sure the people in my care felt safe, comfortable, and respected. I also have experience helping with light housekeeping, meal preparation, and maintaining a clean and organized home environment. What makes me a great caregiver is my patience, kindness, and strong sense of responsibility. I genuinely care about people’s well-being and always try to create a calm, positive, and supportive environment. I am very attentive to detail, reliable, and able to stay calm in stressful situations. I also enjoy building trust and strong relationships with the people I care for, whether they are children, seniors, or pets. I’m naturally nurturing, compassionate, and hardworking. I take pride in being dependable and going above and beyond to make sure others feel supported and cared for.

Hi! My name is Kaylie, and I’m an experienced childcare provider who loves creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for children. I am currently studying early childhood education and have a strong passion for helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. I have several years of experience working with kids through daycare and as a figure skating coach, where I taught and supervised children while helping them build confidence, develop new skills, and have fun in a safe environment. I enjoy planning activities, helping with homework, playing outside, doing crafts, and creating engaging experiences that support children’s development. I’m responsible, patient, reliable, and love building strong connections with the families I work with. I have experience caring for children of different ages and am comfortable helping with daily routines, meals, activities, and supervision. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted caregiver for your family and provide your children with a caring, educational, and enjoyable experience!

Nurturing young minds and supporting families is my passion. For the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. I am patient, creative, and approachable, with a knack for engaging kids in fun, educational activities like outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and always provide parents with regular updates via text or phone call, tailoring my communication to your preferences. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. Speaking both English and Spanish, I am eager to connect with your child and create a positive, enriching experience. My goal is to be more than just a caregiver; I want to be someone your child looks forward to seeing each day.

"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)."
