Amberlee $25 per hour for 1 child

I have always loved working with people and creating a positive, welcoming environment, which is why caregiving has become something I genuinely enjoy. I currently nanny once a week for a family with a 2-year-old and a newborn, and I also work with another family with toddlers, so I have experience balancing multiple kids, keeping them entertained, and helping with routines throughout the day. I have also worked as a preschool teacher, a camp counselor, and a lead teacher at the YMCA for ages 7–9, which helped me build strong leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills. I am also lifeguard certified, so I am trained in CPR and first aid for children, which has made me very confident in handling situations calmly and safely. In addition, I work as a gymnastics coach for children under 7, where I work with large groups of kids and focus on creating a fun, energetic, and safe environment. That experience has taught me how to keep kids engaged, active, and entertained while also making safety the top priority. I would describe myself as energetic, patient, outgoing, and very reliable. I love staying engaged with kids through activities, crafts, games, outdoor time, and just making everyday moments fun. Along with childcare experience, I also have a strong background in customer service and leadership roles, which has made me very organized, adaptable, and good at communicating with both kids and parents. I also love animals and am very comfortable around pets and helping with household tasks when needed.

"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)."
