Heidi $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families, my name is Heidi, and although I'm new to this platform, I bring over 14 years of experience caring for children, consistently by word of mouth referrals from the positive experiences we all have shared. Having lived in this community for over 25 years, I’ve built strong, trusted relationships with families and schools. I understand that every family has its own approach, and I respect and support the values each household wants to instill. I genuinely enjoy being around children, their honesty, curiosity, and unique personalities, and I strive to nurture not only their growth and development, but also their confidence and sense of self. I’m attentive to detail and mindful of routines, and the little things that help children feel safe, supported, and understood. As a parent, I have raised my son (now 15), an honor student, and accomplished in sports. I’ve supported both his education, his creativity and athletic schedule while teaching the importance of honoring commitments and following through on responsibilities. I carry these same principles into the families I work with, always guided by each family’s own preferences, and instructions. I’m also a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for animals since childhood. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and other beloved pets, always treating them as cherished members of the family. Animals have brought so much joy, companionship, and meaning to my life, and caring for them has been one of my greatest pleasures. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every animal has its own unique personality, needs, and quirks, and deserves patience, compassion, and loving care. I am a positive person who is friendly, upbeat, reliable, and communicative, with strong attention to detail. I am CPR/AED/BLS & First Aid certified and a proactive caregiver who takes initiative and anticipates needs before they arise. I am respectful of each family’s home, property, privacy, and personal boundaries, and I understand the importance of discretion, particularly when working with professionals in demanding roles. I enjoy spending time with my husband and our son, reading, cooking, swimming, music, and encouraging a child’s natural interests, joy and creativity. I bring patience and respect to all whom have been entrusted into my care, recognizing that caring for your loved one is truly a privilege.

"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)."
