Hello, my name is Analy Ramos. I am an experienced and dedicated childcare provider with several years of hands-on experience caring for children from the newborn stage through toddlerhood, beginning at the age of 15. I genuinely enjoy supporting children’s growth and development in a safe, nurturing environment. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, and engaging children in enriching activities. I also enjoy teaching foundational skills such as reading and writing, and I would be happy to introduce basic Spanish if desired. In addition to childcare, I can assist with light housekeeping to help maintain a clean and organized home. I am also comfortable caring for pets. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and currently pursuing a nursing degree, with the goal of working in pediatrics. Caring for children is not only my passion but also aligns closely with my professional aspirations. Above all, I strive to provide families with peace of mind by ensuring their children are safe, supported, and well cared for

"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)."
