Hi! My name is Elena, and I’m a very passionate and caring person who truly loves working with children. I’ve been caring for and working with kids for about 10 years, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy every day. I’m currently studying nursing, where I continue to grow my skills in care and responsibility. In my previous roles, I’ve helped families by taking kids to and from school, tutoring, going to the pool, watching movies together, and helping with fun, safe activities that support learning and creativity. I’m also very comfortable around pets — no problem at all with furry friends! Additionally, I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, which allows me to connect easily with children and families from diverse backgrounds. Overall, I’m patient, dependable, and committed to providing a positive, nurturing environment for every child I care for.

It's with much pleasure that I’d like to recommend Ana as a babysitter. She has watched my two children (ages 4 and 7) four times a week for the last 6 months. Ana consistently arrived at our home on time, ready to engage with our kids, with a smile on. She's kind, compassionate, and intelligent. My children really look forward to spending time with Ana and they also look up to her as a role model. Ana is still currently working with us approximately 4 times a week. Ana is fully certified in CPR and First Aid, and has also completed a babysitting course, in addition to her natural talent when it comes to childcare. If you choose to hire Ana, you can be confident that you're getting one of the best babysitters around. You don't have to worry about a babysitter who will just sit and watch TV, Ana is very engaging with kids and earns her fee.

"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."

"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)."
