Hello, I am currently available for part-time or full-time caregiving support. I am looking to supplement my retirement by continuing to do what I am most passionate about—working with children. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have 17 years of experience as a paraeducator in special education. In addition, I have 18 years of experience as a respite provider working with ambulatory clients on the autism spectrum. For the past 3.5 years, I have also served as co-owner and teacher at an infant daycare. The last two years I’ve helped with my daughter’s different foster babies (ages 3 days- 2 years) after work and on the weekends (Currently there are no fosters.) My experience is further informed by being a parent to a child on the autism spectrum, which has deepened my understanding, empathy, and commitment to quality care. I would welcome the opportunity to offer supportive, compassionate, and reliable care to your family. I have my immunizations up to date: Covid 12/25- Booster Flu 12/25 TDAP 5/22 MMR 6/22

Also, should you need me to transport your children, I have my own car, car seats and an immaculate driving record. I choose to be a childcare provider because I have a genuine love of children. I I love spending time with them being silly and watching them thrive and grow under my care. I also love their sense of humor, their curiosity and most of all their honesty. Finally, if you’re looking for a trusted, kind, experienced child care provider or family assistant with a “can do” attitude look no further. And did I say I love to cook? Please read my reviews and reach out anytime. Thank you and I look forward to getting to know you and your family.

We booked Deborah to take care of our 3 yr old toddler for two days. It was a chaotic time for us we had just welcomed a baby in the same week. Deborah built trust with my son very quickly. In an hour he was clinging to her while to read him all his favorite books. She also helped us put our newborn to sleep so I could lay down for a little bit. She is very knowledgeable, she knows how to engage kids and take care of newborns. I will definitely book her again.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
