Hi, I’m an elementary school teacher (25 years of experience) available for childcare and tutoring.

I’d love to fill that role for you and help you out with your childcare needs!

A Little Help, A Lot of Heart Need someone to lend a hand once in a while? I’d love to help! As a mom of two grown daughters, I understand how busy life can get. I have years of childcare experience and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I treat every child with the same love, patience, and respect I’d want for my own. Whether you need a few hours to run errands, enjoy some time for yourself, or a little help once a week, I’m happy to step in. I offer occasional and part-time childcare, with flexible availability by arrangement. I also have excellent references and reliable transportation. Think of me as someone you can welcome into your home like family. I’d love to connect.

“Diaw is great, very helpful taking care of infants and toddlers!”

Hello I'm Maria! I am a dedicated and detail-oriented nanny with over 9 years of experience, starting in 2016. My passion for providing a safe, fun, and educational environment for children has been a key driver in my work. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences that promote learning while ensuring that kids are having fun. I am highly organized, follow schedules closely, and work to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in good hands. As a COVID-19-conscious professional, I have all my vaccines up to date and take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I find working with kids fulfilling because there are so many things to learn and explore with them every day. I love being able to inspire their curiosity and excitement in small and big ways throughout their day. My experience is very diverse as I have worked with newborns, infants, toddlers and older aged kids, as well with multiples(twins) and multiple siblings. I'm also available on weekday evenings should you ever need help then. I am comfortable working around pets as well. I am bilingual in Spanish as well. In addition to child care, I'm able to help with preparing meals, light housekeeping, and laundry. I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to getting to know you and your family more. Thank you!

“Kids had a fantastic time! 10/10!”

"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)."
