Sara $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Sara. I have over two years of full-time, live-in childcare experience through the Au Pair program, caring for children from infancy through school age. My experience includes working in a household with four children, where I managed daily routines, schedules, and individual needs simultaneously. I have cared for infants as young as one month old, as well as toddlers and older children, which has given me a strong understanding of different developmental stages and the ability to adapt my approach to each child. Throughout my experience, I’ve developed strong skills in maintaining structured routines, supporting emotional regulation, and creating a safe, stable, and engaging environment. I am comfortable managing multiple children, balancing their needs, and staying calm and organized in dynamic situations. I value clear and open communication with parents and believe in working as a team to support each child’s growth and well-being. As a Brazilian, I bring warmth, creativity, and a positive energy into my care — whether through play, conversation, or simply being fully present in the child’s daily life.

"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)."
