Hi! I’m Maddie, an early childhood educator with over 7 years of experience working with children. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Studies from Sonoma State University and currently work as a lead teacher at a nature-based preschool in Kensington. I have experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school age in both classroom and home settings. My background in early childhood education has given me a strong understanding of child development, routines, emotional regulation, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate experiences. I love providing hands-on, play-based care and spending time outdoors, exploring nature, doing art projects, reading, and encouraging imaginative play. I’m also comfortable with meals, naps, diapers and potty routines, outings, and caring for multiple children. I’m patient, dependable, nurturing, and energetic. I’m also fluent in English and Spanish and am happy to incorporate Spanish naturally into everyday play and routines. I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position with a family where I can provide consistent, nurturing care and build a long-term relationship with both the children and their parents. I’d love to connect and learn more about 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."

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
