Hi! I’m Britney, 21 years old, with over 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to toddlers and school-aged kids. I’m a caring, patient, and dependable nanny who loves creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel happy. I have experience with infant care, feeding, nap routines, developmental activities, meal preparation, light housekeeping related to the children, and caring for kids when they’re sick. I also have a reliable car and driving experience. Building trust with both children and parents is very important to me. I believe every family deserves to feel confident knowing their little ones are in loving and responsible hands. I’m currently available for evening babysitting after 5–6 PM, date nights, weekends, and occasional care. I’d love to meet your family—feel free to reach out with any questions!

Britney is truly amazing and absolutely trustworthy person! She has been taking care of our 15 months old daughter for 5 months now and they both have developed such a great bond!❤️ We love her! Me and my husband can be at our work and feel comfortable knowing that our child is safe at home with her. On the days when our daughter was sick and recovering from illness and we had to be at work, Britney took the best care of her. I would highly recommend her!

"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

"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
