Hey, My name is Maria, Im from Medellin, Colombia. I'm a 19 year old sophomore college student at The George Washington University, I'm currently pursuing a degree in International Business and a minor in Marketing. I have a little brother which helped me get my caring, responsible, and dependable caregiver skills. I offer child and pet care, and basic household services, if needed. I love working with kids and have experience with all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged children and teens. I worked at a day care for three summers. I enjoy helping with homework, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and creative activities like painting, dancing, and music. I can also provide light cooking and tutoring support. I also enjoy working with pets! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds and can help with walking, feeding, playing, and overall care. I’m CPR/First Aid trained, dependable, and committed to providing safe, and supportive care for families.

Maria was wonderful with our 6 year old son! She arrived early, asked all the right questions, got our son ready for school, and when they had a little extra time, they played board games. She really engaged with him. She also helped us tidy up in the kitchen which was an extra bonus. Finally, she dropped him off at school on time. We would absolutely hire 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

"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)."
