Maria $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maria and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver with experience working with young children. I currently have my CDA and experience with preschool-aged kids, helping with routines, learning activities, meals, playtime, and creating a safe and positive environment. I’m also a swim instructor, which has helped me become very patient, attentive, and confident working with children of different ages and personalities. Families describe me as reliable, kind, organized, and easy to communicate with. I love keeping kids engaged through creative activities, outdoor play, reading, and helping them learn while having fun. I’m comfortable with meal prep, light housekeeping related to the children, bedtime routines, and maintaining a structured environment. My goal is always to make both children and parents feel comfortable, supported, and cared for.

I have a passion for children and teaching them in truth and in love. I have been tutoring children for over three years and am currently studying to become a pediatric nurse. I have always been considered a people person and always been a hit with the kids. I am very energetic and also empathetic. I care for all people and put others before myself. Due to my church background, I have always been a part of children's ministry, and babysit my pastors kids many times whether it's for an hour or for a day. While I can be fun, playful, and energetic, I can also be very stern and serious when the time calls for me to be. I am a believer of Christ and it is the bane of all that I do. I attain to uphold Christian values in all that I do. I was raised by Caribbean parents, with that being said, I have been taught to clean at a pretty young age and it is something that still holds strong in my household.

"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)."
