I am a warm, reliable pediatric occupational therapy professional, child development specialist and mom to a 18 month old girl dedicated to creating a safe, engaging, and enriching environment for every child in my care. I specialize in newborns and understand firsthand how vulnerable it can feel to leave your baby with someone new. I have experience caring for children from as young as 10 days old through the preteen years and that’s before I had my daughter. ☺️ My background in pediatric occupational therapy allows me to thoughtfully support developmental milestones through age-appropriate play, sensory activities, and individualized care. I am skilled in assisting with travel, sleep routines, parent education, and overnight care. During weekday daytime hours (Monday–Friday), I am seeking positions where I am able to bring my young child along. This arrangement can provide opportunities for social development, modeling, and interactive play in a small, nurturing environment while I continue to prioritize safety, structure, and each child’s unique needs. I’m open to part or full time for the right fit. I am also available for evening, weekend, overnight, and travel care without my child present, if preferred. Thank you — I look forward to connecting with your family!

“We had a wonderful experience with Nicole! Although our 16-month-old daughter can be a bit slow to warm up, Nicole was very patient and fantastic at keeping her engaged. By the time we left, our daughter was happily giggling and playing with her. Nicole even shared some great, practical suggestions on feeding and communication. We felt completely at ease, and our daughter was so happy. Highly recommend her!”

Hello! I’m a nanny with 7 years of experience caring for children from newborns to 10 years old. Before nannying, I worked as an assistant teacher at a Montessori preschool, where I gained valuable experience in child development and early education. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. I love planning engaging activities, encouraging creativity, and supporting each child’s unique personality and developmental needs. Building strong relationships with both children and parents is important to me, and I’m committed to being a reliable and positive part of your family’s support system. I’d love the opportunity to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

My background includes lifelong, hands-on caregiving experience. I started babysitting at age 13 and helped raise my younger siblings, who are now teenagers. Through this, I’ve developed a unique relationship with kids—they feel safe with me, and also find me fun and engaging. I’m playful, know how to make kids laugh, and keep them entertained, while also providing structure, support, and emotional safety. I recently lived with my 2- and 4-year-old nieces, so I’m very comfortable with toddlers, routines, and day-to-day childcare needs. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally nurturing, and children tend to connect with me easily. I also have strong experience with pets and household support. I have a 2-year-old mini dachshund who is the center of attention. Overall, I’m dependable, warm, and genuinely enjoy caring for children, pets, and families, creating an environment where everyone feels supported and safe. I also value communication.

"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)."
