Hello all, I am a young Human Resources professional and have been working with children 10+ years. When I was a teen, I discovered that I had a tremendous passion for making kids laugh, learning how and why kids think the way they do, and simply being in a happy-spirited environment. My first babysitting job consisted of three children when I was only 15 years old. Yes, it was a handful but I learned to work around the unexpected interaction. Since then I was recommend to more than five different families, which is when I learned I could not use the same babysitting skill or routine for each family. Furthermore, as a psychology major, I have enhanced my leadership skills as a tutor in two educational programs: Coleman Leap and Next Generation Scholars. These programs have required me to help students (either ages seven to nine or eleven to sixteen) with doing homework, studying for tests, and playing recreational activities. I am a very kind, patient, and friendly babysitter; I try my best to interact with the kids and demonstrate respect. Please feel free to email, call, or text me if you would like to know more or need a sitter. I am only available for ocasional date nights and overnight weekend gigs. I am also wiling to provide references! - Kathleen

"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."

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)."

Eric D., dad of two
