Zakhona $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Zakhona and I’m originally from South Africa. I’ve always had a natural love for kids. I started caring for my younger cousins when I was the oldest grandchild at home, and that’s where my passion began. In 2022, I started working with families outside my own and have cared for children of different ages since then. I’m currently an au pair, taking care of a baby I’ve been with since she was 6 months old. I handle everything from feeding and naps to playtime and fun activities that support her development. I love doing outdoor walks, dancing, reading stories, and getting creative with crafts or sensory play. I’m also happy to help with tidying up after play. I’m warm, patient, and dependable and I treat every child as if they were my own little sibling. I’d love to bring my care and experience to your home and support your family!

Hello! I am a caring, patient, and responsible caregiver with hands-on experience caring for children, including my own infant son.

"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)."
