Hello parents, My name is Elizabeth, and I am based in Washington, DC. I hold a BA in Accounting & Finance, but my true passion has always been working with children. I began caring for infants and toddlers at a young age, supporting family members and neighbors, and I also have experience teaching third grade in my home country. I have cared for children of all ages—from newborns to teens—including those with autism, asthma, and eczema. My background includes part-time caregiving within my community, working at a daycare center in London after earning my First Aid certification, and serving as an assistant karate instructor for five years with children ages 5 to 13. Families appreciate my patience, reliability, and ability to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I enjoy planning creative activities that support children’s development while making sure they feel happy and secure. In my free time, I enjoy reading, puzzles, arts and crafts, and spending time outdoors. I am currently babysitting once per week and would love the opportunity to support your family.

Elizabeth immediately connected with our suspicious 6 month old and put us at ease. She was very gentle and attentive with her, and our girl was all smiles when we got home. Such a gift!

Hi, I’m Cierra! I’m a dedicated Early Childhood Educator with over 11 years of experience. I hold a Bachelors degree in Human Relations and a Masters in Teaching Early Childhood Education. I took the 25-26 school year off from teaching in the school system to work on opening my very own childcare center. Before joining the school system here in DC, I worked at top-rated childcare centers such as Little Scholars (Library of Congress) and Tiny Findings (GAO), where I was Lead Teacher of both infant and toddler classrooms. Babysitting and nannying aside teaching are true passions of mine, especially during school breaks, evenings, and weekends. I'm also a proud mom to a fun-loving 7-year-old daughter! **CPR/First Aid renewal: 3/12/2026

"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)."
