I'd describe myself as calm, I'm patient, and self less. I enjoy taking care of children, because kids are fun, they always have something funny or "out of the blue" to say, they carefree and just enjoy life. There's always something one can learn from a child, they are the best humans to take care of and even spend time with. I am looking for a healthy environment as a working space. Where communication can flow easily, critics are well understood. And clear expectations from both family and myself I started working with kids when I was a teenager, I have 10year experience. I was an au pair for the past year. In my spare time, I either watch television or read a book. I take pride in all the kids I watch because at the it is a reflection of me too. And I am currently taking a Montessori course, to improve my childcare skills My patience for kids is my number one and best skill. I very attentive and always at the top of my feet. The child is the biggest priority

“Charlene is a wonderful sitter/nanny! She arrives promptly. She does an amazing job with our little one. We’re so blessed to receive her childcare services!”

I have 11 years of solid experience caring for children ages 0-17. I have learned the importance of providing children structure through my years of nannying and caretaking. In addition, I have hands-on experience nannying multiple infants and toddlers at a time. I am 100% comfortable providing adequate structure, age appropriate interaction and activities, safe play, healthy eating and resting. I have worked with students who have IEP's during the day, as well as taught at an elementary school in multiple after school programs, and provided therapy for children with autism. I have taught classes such as dance, painting, drawing, STEM/STEAM, and an academic excellence class. I have taught these classes for children in pre-school up to fifth grade. I recently was a preschool teacher at a Montessori school and have a daughter as well. She is a 6 year old.

"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)."
