$21 per hour for 1 child

Hello! Thanks for coming across my profile! In the afternoons, I’m currently a Behavioral Interventionist with ACES ABA, and have always loved kids! I don’t have any direct babysitting experience currently, but have always loved spending time with the young members of my family and playing/taking care of them during family visits. I also have previous experience caring for a special needs adult, and have calmly de escalated and re directed tantrums, and have used this knowledge during my BI job as well. My personality traits are definitely patience, fun, firm, and accommodating to whatever my client has needed in the past. The client always comes first.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
