Hi! I'm a licensed elementary special education teacher with Fairfax County Public Schools available for summer weekdays. I offer babysitting services and/or individualized reading and writing tutoring for children ages 5-12. I have a reliable vehicle and can transport children to and from summer camps, activities, and appointments. Whether you need full-day care, transportation, or academic support to prevent summer learning regression, I'd love to help your family have a successful summer. I'm great with pets, too!

Calli was great! She was communicative, punctual and a total pro! My daughter loved her and I felt like she was in good hands. Would definitely book again!

I love taking care of kids and this job made me realize that I wanted to be a preschool teacher that’s why I’m starting Early childhood and special needs this coming spring. I started babysitting back in my country (Argentina) since I was 18 years old where I took care of a 4 year old for 5 years. During those years I worked in a school as a catechist with ages from 3 years old to 12. I was also in a church group being in charge of teenagers. When I moved to USA to be an au pair I took care of 3 siblings (3,5 and 7 yo). Now I’m working with a family with 4 boys where the youngest is 10 months old (I started taking care of him when he was 6 months). That’s why I can say that I have experience with all the ages. Last but not least, I consider myself a patient, caring, respectful, responsible and enthusiastic nanny who you can trust your children!

"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."

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)."
