Hi everyone, My name is Kavonah or Kay for the little ones. Currently, I am a school social worker. I have worked with kids in different settings including schools, summer camps, and daycare. I have worked with all ages and enjoy working with all age groups. I love doing different activities with children including arts and crafts, puzzles, drawing, card games, etc. I am able to incorporate social emotional learning into these activities where kids will learn social skills such as sharing, emotional regulation, respect, making good choices, conversation skills, conflict resolution, etc. I am comfortable with cooking, cleaning, run errands, and other tasks around the home.

I have nannied and babysat for over 20 years. I have been a household manager which includes duties such as running errands or scheduling plumbing. I was a live in nanny. I nannied for a newborns until age 5. I have babysat for families with 2 children and even 4 children. I have watched toddlers grow into preschoolers while a sibling is in grade school. I worked with various ages from newborns up to age 16. I really enjoy nannying for kids! I also taught swim lessons to children in groups up to 20 for 7 years which involved children in day camp. I was also a teacher's aide for English for 7th graders. I taught a week of poetry to grade school children, corrected papers, and helped the teacher. I taught art in Montessori schools for groups up to 14 children ranging in ages from 3-8 years old. I also worked for a daycare and watched up to 5 babies at one time while maintaining their feeding and diapering schedules and reading to them. I supervised up to 8 toddlers at a time and made sure they were entertained, fed and diapered at appropriate times. I also watched up to 10 five year olds at a time and we all had a ton of fun while playing and learning together! I have also cared for twins together! I clean bottles, change diapers, bathe and dress children, take children to the park and to activities as well as supervise play dates. I do household management duties such as car rental, oil changes, scheduling a plumber and letting him know the issue. I organize parties. I do grocery shopping and light housekeeping. I cook. I run errands. I communicate well with parents about their children’s daily growth. I have tons of fun nannying and the parents and children are pleased as well! I have a driver's license and a car. I am a great driver who is safe! I am vaccinated and boosted against covid. I also have TDAP and flu vaccines. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I love pets! I genuinely enjoy helping children to succeed in life and enjoy playing and learning with them! I would enjoy nannying for you! I look forward to meeting your family and working as a team player with you! Thanks, Kathryn

"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."

"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)."
