Literary and Play Focused Nanny Christina is an Infant Development Specialist and Caregiver Educator with over a decade of experience supporting infants and toddlers through play-based, literacy-integrated, child-led care. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development and is credentialed by the International Nanny Association, certified as a Newborn & Infant Care Specialist by the U.S. Nanny Association, and trained as an Integrated Infant Development Consultant. Her approach is grounded in children’s cues and relationships and guided by early brain science and close observation, supporting regulation within the natural flow of care. Because reading felt challenging to her as a child, Christina is passionate about making early literacy feel safe and relational, integrating it into play and daily routines rather than treating it as a performance skill. She specializes in playroom cultivation and learning environment design that supports curiosity and emerging developmental patterns. Seeking Full-Time W/-2 Payroll Position

"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."

"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)."
