Rebecca $28 per hour for 1 child

I earned my degree in Communications, but some of my most meaningful experiences have come from working directly with families. I have several years of experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged kids, and I enjoy helping with everything from daily routines and homework support to planning fun, creative activities. I’ve also cared for pets and seniors, so I’m comfortable balancing different responsibilities in the home. What I love most about caregiving is the opportunity to build trust and provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can feel supported and encouraged. I bring patience, dependability, and a positive attitude to every role, and I find it rewarding to know that I can make parents’ lives easier while giving children a fun and caring experience. On a personal note, I enjoy spending time outdoors, staying active, and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. Families I’ve worked with would describe me as warm, dependable, and someone who truly enjoys being part of their children’s growth and happiness.

"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

"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)."
