Hi I’m Emsters, I identify as non binary but I hope this doesn’t interfere on how you see me as a childcare provider. I’m 22 years old and have a strong passion for working with kids. I’m CPR and first aid certified along with other certifications. I have 8 years of experience, 4 of those years were nannying, along with daycare and preschool. I have experience working with children of all ages groups. I also have experience with children that have been diagnosed with autism, ADD, ADHD and behavioral problems. I’m very sweet and calm and have an unusual level of patience with children of all ages. I have been told that I am gifted at communicating with kids individually right where they are. I love playing, laughing, and learning as the children grow. I love to connect with the families and watch as the children grow up and seeing each individual child reach different milestones. My favorite part about being a nanny is to see the kids face light up with excitement when they discover something new and cool to them. I look forward to building relationships with the each child. As well as being an extra person to show them love. Most of my years of experience has been infant to 5 years old. I’ve none naps, feedings, bath, bed time, school pick up and drop off, overnights.

Hi! My name is Ashley. I’m a caring and reliable sitter with lots of hands-on experience, both as a mom and working with children of different ages. Being a parent myself, I truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your kids. I follow a gentle parenting approach and focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, respected, and free to be themselves. I love engaging with kids through play, learning activities, and everyday routines. I’m very hands-on and intuitive, so I’m happy to jump right in and help without needing a lot of direction. Whether it’s caring for your little one, helping with child-related chores, or just making your day a little easier, I’ve got you covered. I also have strong references available and would love the chance to support your family!

"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

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
