Nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's a genuine passion. For the past nine years, I've dedicated myself to creating enriching environments where children can thrive. My approach is rooted in patience, creativity, and open communication. I provide regular updates via text or phone call, and I always follow the parents' lead when it comes to household rules. I enjoy engaging children with board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I am comfortable caring for up to four children and have experience with special needs children. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications, along with Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Child Development coursework. I'm happy to assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel. I'm also comfortable with pets. Knowing I can make a positive impact on a child's life brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones.

I am a 34yo Certified Montessori Teacher from ages zero to six, with over 5 years of experience of childcare in the States (4 years as a Montessori lead guide in a Toddler Community ) and over 8 in my home country, Colombia. I am organized, creative and kind. I respect children and their minds, and enjoy being their company and guide while they discover the world through experience and joy. And as a plus, I was born and raised in Colombia, so I speak Spanish fluently!

I'm the oldest daughter in my family, which meant I started caring for my younger siblings and cousins from an early age, and it's where my love for kids truly began. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to keep things fun even on busy days. I'm an active nature lover, and I bring that passion into how I care for kids. I love finding creative ways to keep children engaged and connected to the outdoors, whether that's reading together in the park, going on nature walks, or planning day camping trips. I believe some of the best learning happens outside. I'm also pet-friendly and comfortable caring for animals alongside children, and I take pride in keeping a clean, organized home environment. Families can count on me to bring warmth, structure, and a genuine love of kids into their household.

Hi! I’m Andrea. I’ve been babysitting for 6 years and have lots of experience with toddlers and young kids. I’m also an RBT and have work closely with children on the autism spectrum. I love doing crafts, games, and fun activities with kids, and I always try to create a safe and happy environment for them. I have some extra free time right now and would love to babysit for families who need the help. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to provide references. I’ll also have availability for part-time or full-time summer care from June–August since my main job follows the school schedule.

I love working with kids. I’m been working with children for 10 years now as a teacher and as a babysitter. I have 2 kids of my own, one is 4 years old and the other one is 12. I know how hard is to find a good sitter now days and I can assure you that I will take care of your precious child as I want people to take care of my child.

"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
