Casie 1 review
$32 per hour for 1 child

I’m a career Nanny and Newborn Care Specialist who loves working with children and truly enjoys being able to help and watch them grow. I have tutoring experience alongside nanny experience and have a college degree. I'm responsible, reliable, energetic and caring. Please let me know if you have any questions.

“I’m not even sure how to start a review of Casie because she has truly been everything to us. We found her through a nanny site 3 years ago as we were trying to find someone we could feel comfortable with doing periodic date nights out for us. We have 2 kids (now 7 and 5) who hadn’t been cared for by anyone else so we were apprehensive. Casie made us feel so comfortable right from the start. She was energetic, and interactive with the kids from the very beginning. After having her do once in a while date nights for us for a few months, we knew we needed her involved more with our family. We were able to have her come help us full time. Our youngest needed more one on one attention and wasn’t doing well in the daycare environment so we pulled him out of school to be home full time with Casie. She always came in with ideas of how to help and guide him and built in education into his schedule so he didn’t fall behind in anything in learning and development. She had a standard schedule (but was always very flexible in changes), and really established a routine with him. We gave her full access to everything in our house, with the kids and our lives. She had my credit card for purchases and a key to our house. She is always one step ahead of us to keep our household organized and together. Casie was with us now full time for about a year and a half and part time for about 6 months as well. Her move to California was the only reason she is not with us anymore. Otherwise I would have loved to have her forever. She has truly become part of our family. She is incredibly kind, diligent, trustworthy, takes our kids on adventures, cares for them as her own and has worked with me and my husband as a team. She truly does it all and is patient along the way. You could not find a better person to do this along with your family. She is truly one of a kind.”

"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)."
