Booked by 1 family in Cos Cob, CT

I’m currently looking for the right fit where I can use my natural caregiving skills, intuition, and over 15 years of experience in early childhood education. Working with children has always come naturally to me , it’s where my patience, creativity, and nurturing side truly shine. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported, and I bring that heart-centered approach into everything I do. Caregiving has always been more than just a job for me ,it’s something that feels innate and fulfilling. Whether it’s engaging children through play, helping them express their emotions, or supporting their learning milestones, I take pride in creating a calm, positive environment where they can thrive. My background as a teacher has also given me a strong foundation in child development, structure, and gentle communication. I’m seeking flexible babysitting opportunities that allow me to bring this blend of warmth, experience, and intuition to a family who values trust and genuine care. Ideally, I’d love to connect with families who are looking for someone dependable, intuitive, and loving ,someone who can provide both practical support and an emotionally nurturing presence. I’m open on call for emergency calls and date nights and even at events.

Sherry has been amazing in every way. We look forward to booking her again.

"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)."
