Eliza $25 per hour for 1 child

Caring for children and making a positive impact is something I genuinely love. With over three years of experience caring for children of all ages, I aim to provide a nurturing and engaging environment for your little ones. I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time and respect each family's unique routines and household rules. I enjoy planning age appropriate activities, including outdoor play, creative projects, and board games that encourage learning and connection. I communicate clearly and consistently, providing updates via text or phone call - or whatever method you prefer. With some college experience and a naturally calm, patient, and friendly personality, I aim to be a dependable and encouraging presence in your child's life. Supporting families by providing reliable, trustworthy childcare is deeply important to me, and I would love the opportunity to see if I'm the right fit for 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)."
