Booked by 1 family in Washington, DC

Greetings, I am a college student at the University of Vermont studying Social Work. Due to illness in the family, I am returning home to Bethesda Maryland for my spring semester. As I am home, I would like to capitalize on this opportunity by returning to my passion for childcare. I previously worked in a daycare setting with ages 0-5, and I have mine state child care certification in Vermont. Additionally, I have babysat extensively and worked as a sleep away camp counselor. I am passionate about meeting each unique child where they are and providing appropriate developmental environments. I love incorporating the outdoors, messy play, fine and gross motor activities, and educational opportunities. I believe each child is unique and I strive to go into interactions with an open mind and spirit. Outside of childcare, I am passionate about riding horses, reading, making stained glass, and the outdoors. Additionally, I am happy to help with household chores, pet care, and elder support.

"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)."
