Hello Families, I have been in the Us for Three years; I have experience with kiddos from 8 months until nine years old. I love to do activities outdoor like parks, going biking, or skating. Also, I love to play indoors and do some activities like science projects or safe baking. I'm easy going person; my lifestyle is into a vegan diet. I also like to share some recipes with the kids. In terms of communication, I am always aware of rules, and I will let you know the activities that I’m planning to do with the kiddos; I will ask for your permission before do something with them. (Going out or possible playdates) I love animals, and I don't mind having pets in your home.

Lucy did a great Job with our almost 4 years old son, they were giggling a lot and developed a good rapport quickly. Happy to have her back!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
