Crystal J $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Crystal. As a mother of three boys, and now a grandmother of three, I bring my experience as a compassionate and reliable caregiver. Adept in supporting children, seniors, and pets. I LOVE ALL BABIES, PETS, and GRANDPARENTS! Creative, playful, and patient with the kids. Dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing environment while meeting diverse needs. Strong communication and problem-solving abilities help me build trust with families. Always attentive, organized, and eager to make a positive difference. I have a background as an NAR, though I have not endeavored to renew my licenses as it requires a return to schooling. It was rewarding and I truly enjoyed this period in my late twenties and early thirties prior to my accounting career. I worked in both brain trauma and geriatric nursing long term care facilities. $22.00 for pet. Fees can be negotiable based on responsibility involved. Lighter workload = less $. Or shorter commute = less $. :)

"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)."
