Amber $35 per hour for 1 child

Nurturing children and witnessing their blossoming potential is my greatest joy. For the past nine years, I've dedicated myself to providing enriching childcare experiences. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I communicate with parents at pickup or through their preferred method. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. My days are filled with fun, from outdoor sports to board games and educational activities. I am comfortable caring for multiple children at a time. My background includes some college coursework, First Aid Training, CPR Training, and Early Child Development Coursework. I have a car, I'm comfortable with pets, and I'm happy to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. Supporting families and making a positive impact on children's lives is what I love most, and I look forward to bringing my passion and experience to your family.

"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)."
