Hi there! I am new to UrbanSitter! My name is Elizabeth. I am currently an International Politics and Business student at Penn State online. As an online student, my schedule is flexible. I am offering child care during my free time. I grew up with younger siblings so I have been taking care of children for as long as I remember! I have also had numerous long term and short term nannying positions. In addition, I recently spent 4 months in Germany working as an AuPair for a family of five. I will always keep communication as open as possible to ensure I meet all of your needs and address your concerns as a parent. Please message me for further details. I can’t wait to get in touch!

Over the past 16 years, I have developed strong parenting and organizational skills through hands-on experience raising children through various developmental stages. My background includes managing household responsibilities, supporting my children's academic and emotional growth, and maintaining a structured yet nurturing environment. I have gained in-depth understanding of child development, adolescent behavior, and educational needs through active involvement in their schooling, extracurricular activities, and healthcare.

"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."

Amy L., mom of one

"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)."
