Abi $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Abi — a recent college grad with a strong background in childcare. I’ve spent the last few years working as a camp counselor and babysitter, and I bring both professional experience (3+ years) and a lifetime of family caretaking to the table. I’m also certified in Adult + Infant CPR and First Aid. I have always felt like working with kids has been my calling - I grew up taking care of a brother who was 12 years younger than me, which gave me hands-on experience with every stage of childhood. As a camp counselor at Steve and Kate's Camp, I learned to take care of kids between the ages of 4-12, and I was promoted to Youngest Camper Lead after my first summer, which put every child between the ages of 4-6 (typically around 15-20 per day) under my care! I am well-practiced with emotional management and conflict resolution with young kids, and I have a lot of experience summoning the kind of energy that it takes to both entertain and care for a room full of littles! I love kids of all ages and have always found it pretty easy to get along with all kinds of personalities. I have experience with and would love to work with children between the ages of 1-10 years old. I would love to connect and see if we could be a good match!

"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)."
