Ashley $26 per hour for 1 child

I come from a big family with kids of all ages, including a baby sister, so caring for little ones has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with everything from playing games and doing crafts to homework help, dinner, and bedtime routines. Being around so many different personalities has made me patient, flexible, and really tuned in to what each child needs. I recently graduated from nursing school, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility and safety awareness, but at my core I’m very nurturing and hands-on. I stay calm under pressure, and I take the trust families place in me very seriously. Kids tend to warm up to me quickly because I’m playful and engaging, but I also know how to maintain structure and routines so parents feel comfortable. I’m happy to help with light cleaning, meal prep, organizing, and caring for pets as well. I’m dependable, communicative, and I genuinely care about creating a safe, positive environment where kids feel supported and have fun.

"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)."
