Hi there! I’m a reliable, CPR-certified caregiver and proud mom to a 12-year-old daughter. I’ve been watching kids of all ages since I was 14. With a strong background in the military, I bring professionalism, punctuality, and a calm, safety-focused approach to every home I work in. I enjoy creating a fun and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I’m patient, organized, and happy to help with homework, meal prep, and bedtime routines. My goal is to make sure both kids and parents feel supported and confident while I’m caring for your little ones.

Hiba $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Layla! I’m a warm, caring, and dependable caregiver who genuinely enjoys supporting families in every way I can. 😊 I work in the school system, which has taught me patience, compassion, and how to create a safe, loving environment for children. I also pet sit regularly and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable and happy while maintaining their routines. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m happy to help with light household services such as tidying up, organizing, meal prep, and keeping the home running smoothly. I treat every child, pet, and home with the same care and respect I would my own.

"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)."
