Hi, I’m Chelsea! I love working with children and am excited to offer my childcare services. I’m a punctual, responsible, and dependable individual who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. This summer, I graduated with my master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. I currently work with children on the autism spectrum, which has given me valuable experience supporting children with a variety of needs and creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for them. In addition to my professional experience, I have several years of babysitting experience. I grew up babysitting my younger cousins, as well as my niece and nephew. While I was in college, I also volunteered as a tutor for elementary-aged children in both English and Spanish. I’m comfortable with a variety of childcare responsibilities, including changing diapers, preparing and providing snacks and meals, playing with children, cleaning up after activities, and following bedtime routines.

"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)."
