Working with Children has always brought me happiness, Teaching to maintain Hygiene(If its a concerns and parents want obviously), as well as teaching good manners, math and anything that needs to be taken care of, always be thankful. Spanish speaking, don’t mind teaching at all. Love being able to be there for your kids when you are not available, keeping them comfortable and distracted I have 2 beautiful nieces 2 and 4 year old niece that gives me strength and passion to love kids even more and appreciate those mom what they do for them. (I know its not easy!) Few days/hours a week I give my sister some time off for me to be with my nieces, for her to rest or do any errands which she loves including date nights since both my nieces where born, just loved being a present aunt. And they seeing me grow with them as we taught them about my pregnancy. They were so thrilled to meet my baby. That now all they do is ask for him first. Recently I became a mother with my first baby boy. He is 9 months old. Since day 1 my mother instinct kicked in with pain, I continued with my goals (no medication for labor-breastfeeding) was able to accomplish them just how I planned to. I have help from my husband as he had paternity leave. Yet I still want to do almost everything. I completely take over at night, bath routine, wash/sanitize pump parts/bottle. All while also making sure I meet my protein intake for milk supply. Practically I just have dad for soothing/burping. My baby name is Liam. He is the most wonderful thing that could happen to me and couldn’t ask for anything else in the world. I follow a schedule for him to sleep through the night. Always with the help of my sister as she is Doula (childcare/postpartum experienced) and personally experienced she provides me with knowledge up to date, formally showing my interest in following her footsteps. Love dogs and cats, former pet owner. I am fully vaccinated I and current with all. Experienced on childcare worked as a Receptionist for Pediatric Clinic for a couple of years. Then Pediatric Dentistry as a Hospital Admin. & Dental Assistant Trainee. Currently on maternity leave with no pay. And wouldn’t love nothing more than to be able to work with him while I do what I love.

I've also worked in three different day cares and volunteered in 1st and 5th grade elementary school classes. I am what people may call a "traveling nanny". I travel anywhere in the U.S. with families. If you're interested in my services, I can provide you with as many references as you may need. Thank you and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Hi everybody! My name is Klaudia and besides being a part-time babysitter I'm open to families which are considering to have a live-in or live-out nanny. I have wide experience with kids in different ages. As a certified Red Cross first-aid trainer I was able to teach kids about the health, first-air and CPR. I am very patient and I love to see the progress that kids can make. Besides my long experience with kids, including kids with disabilities, as an ordinary nanny for total of 6 years, I was a live-in nanny for almost two years. This experience consisted from taking care of three kids (ages 5, 9 and 12), driving them to activities, making a food for them, helping them with homework and of course having fun! What I liked about this experience was the opportunity to maintain great relationship with these kids and the ability to be there for them anytime they needed me. Additionally, I do have experience with toddlers and infants, bedtime and morning routines, feeding and playing with babies or taking them for stroller walks. I'm also enjoying tutoring English and Math. Please don't hesitate to send me a message.

"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)."
