Hi! My name is Christine, I am the oldest out of 5 children, with a mother who is a labor and delivery nurse--so I've grown up being taught about how to deal with children from a young age and have tons of personal experience working with kids through my younger siblings, extended family, and previously being my church's Sunday school teacher. I also have over 10 years of professional childcare experience and have worked in varying capacities as a nanny, family assistant, children’s art class assistant and sitter. I am trustline certified along with taking childcare courses, have a valid driver’s license and have received cpr & first aid training. I enjoy hobbies like reading, writing, and music and love sharing these things with kids. I also am not allergic to any pets and have no issues working with families with friendly furry friends ☺️ *I typically have a 5 hour minimum* **rates vary based on distance**

Christine has a calm demeanor and my toddler warmed up to her right away. She was communicative and was very prepared taking my daughter to play in the park with both toys and snacks. Would definitely have her back!

"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)."
