Angie $25 per hour for 1 child

As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of children. My calm and patient demeanor creates a serene environment for your little ones. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates and adhering to their preferred method of contact. While I'm comfortable enforcing household rules, my approach focuses on teaching and guiding rather than strict discipline. From outdoor adventures to educational games, I love engaging children in diverse activities that foster their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. With my unwavering commitment to nurturing young minds, I'm excited to embark on this journey alongside you and your family.

I was the oldest of two younger sisters growing up. I have babysat for plenty of friends and family members over the years. I was also a nanny for two families in the past. I encourage activities that engages creative thinking and imagination-activities that will help them think but have fun at the same time. I also encourage spending time outdoors as I find being active is important. I can help out with pets, laundry, and meal prep. I look forward to hearing from you!

"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)."
