Hi! I’m Maria 😊 I’m 24, bilingual in Spanish & English, and I’ve been babysitting/nannying since I was 14. I have experience with kids of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. I grew up in a big family, so I’m very used to busy households and keeping things fun while also staying organized and responsible. I really enjoy spending time with kids, whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, going outside, or just supporting their everyday routines. I can also help with meal prep, laundry, light cleaning, organizing, and pet care if needed. I’d describe myself as reliable, patient, caring, and easy to communicate with. I know how important it is to have someone you trust with your kids, and I always try to make parents feel comfortable and supported. Happy to provide references, and I’d love to chat more to see if we’d be a good fit 😊

She was very communicative prior to our first meet. Our daughter enjoyed her time with Maria. Grateful for help with a dependable care taker

"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)."
