Nurturing young minds is my passion, and I've dedicated the last 13 years to providing enriching care for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I hold a college degree in education, multiple child development courses, up to date first aid and CPR certification, and have experience as a birth and postpartum doula. My duties vary depending on the child needs, age, family needs, but most importantly is to focus on the child’s well being and to create a safe, fun, and stimulating environment where they can thrive. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. I love engaging kids with outdoor activities, libraries, play grounds, museums, zoo. In most of my positions I have been required to drive, which I am happy to provide as well, and have excellent references. My goal is to support your family, and I look forward to building a caring relationship with your children!

$30 per hour for 1 child

I love my job apasiónate for children’s 20 years of experience age 0-10 years, I register to thrust line , COR and FIRST AID certification, clean driving records, .etc

Brenda has been our beloved nanny for the last 18 months, helping raise our daughter from 6 months until she turned two. There are many choices out there for caregivers, but after interviewing and meeting several, Brenda stood out to our family most notably for her warmth and loving personality. It was immediately clear to us that she would deeply love and care for our daughter. I also never had any doubt that my daughter was safe, learning and having fun. She helped my daughter through all of the milestones. Brenda is punctual and reliable and naturally good with young children. Our daughter is starting preschool and we are sad to end this chapter but intend to maintain our relationship for babysitting engagements in the future and would just say any family is lucky to have her.

"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)."
