Booked by 3 families in Washington, DC

Hi! My name is Flor, I am 28 years old, and I have been caring for children since high school. I have experience with kids from 3 months to 12 years old, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I was previously an Au Pair and I am currently working as a nanny. I have CPR and First Aid certification, I have a valid work permit, and a driver’s license. I am a very loving, patient, and responsible person. I like to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel comfortable and happy. I can help with homework, play activities, and daily routines, including diaper changes, bottle feeding, and all baby-related care. I can cook a variety of meals for the children and I am also comfortable preparing meals for the whole family. I also help with children-related tasks such as laundry, washing and folding clothes, and keeping their spaces clean and organized. I always follow parents’ instructions carefully and make sure everything runs smoothly. I would love to support your family and take great care of your children! ☀️🌷🌻

She has done an excellent job caring for twins, showing great patience, organization, and attentiveness. Managing two children at the same time requires responsibility and experience, and she handles it very professionally. She is reliable, punctual, and always attentive to the children’s safety and individual needs. She creates a caring and fun environment while maintaining routines and staying calm under pressure. Her ability to multitask and provide quality care to both children at once truly reflects her skills and professionalism as a babysitter.

"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."

"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)."
