*full availability starting April 2026* I nannied a little boy from 6 months to entering kindergarten, in addition to watching 3 children ages 4, 10, and 12 for 4 months during their covid pandemic remote schooling, and babysitting experience. I have an energetic and very child-friendly personality. I used to mainly work doing birthday party gigs (princess, clown, face painter, balloon twister, etc.) and I have worked over 300 gigs. I was commended for my energy, stamina, and patience when working.

I have been working as a nanny since 2019. Between 2019 and 2023, I worked full-time with different families and built great relationships with all of them, and I’d be happy to provide references. I am an organized, playful, and responsible person. At the moment, I am looking for something temporary. Mostly date nights or one-day services. I drive and can meet at parks, playgrounds, or even places like Sky Zone. I can also plan a super fun day with your children to keep them entertained and happy.

Carolina was our au pair and lived with us while caring for my two boys. She is responsible, loving, and reliable, always creating a safe and nurturing environment for my children. She quickly became part of our family, showing patience, creativity, and initiative in keeping the boys engaged and cared for. I highly recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable.

"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)."
