Hi there! I’m Sydney 😊 the kind of sitter kids get excited to see and parents feel totally at ease with! I’ve been caring for little ones since 2017, babysitting for over 50 families and nannying for 5, from sweet, snuggly newborns to too-cool teens (and every fun stage in between!). Whether your child is shy, bouncy, sensitive, or strong-willed, I meet them right where they are, and we always end up the best of buddies. 💛 I’m all about fun, but safety always comes first! I know how to soothe a fussy baby, turn meltdowns into giggles, and keep big kids busy and happy (yes, even without screens! 🎨📚). I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including autism. I love lending an extra hand around the house too, from tidying up and folding laundry to doing dishes, prepping yummy meals and snacks, or running errands. With my background as a personal and executive assistant, helping busy families feel a little more organized is truly my happy place! ✨ You can always count on me to show up on time, keep you in the loop, and treat your kiddos like my own. Most of the families I sit for end up booking me again and again, and many have become regulars! 🥰 I have my own reliable car, a clean driving record, I’m a non-smoker, and I’m up to date on vaccines. I’m also a proud mama to two cats and a little pup, so your furry family members will get lots of love too! 🐾 I can’t wait to meet your family and bring some extra joy (and calm!) to your day! 🌈 Sydney 💛

"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

"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)."
