I have been gaining experience on working with any type of kids age like kids that have brains symptoms. Honestly, I love kids, I love playing with them, listening to them, observing them. I am easy to a kid adapting to me. My first time working with children, it was on Fletcher Maynard in Cambridge on 2019. By the time, I was a teacher assistant for after school. My roles were making sure they slept, eat , play, helping them with homework. Organizes their activities supplied created by the teachers, organized the classroom by making sure the kids belonging are on their place. Supervised them. Joining them on their activities. Accompanied them on their needs especially when they want to use restroom.

At age 11 i started babysitting for the neighborhood- to the point i was in very high demand and had to learn the art of negotiation. i stayed with the same families for many years literally up until i met and married my husband. we had 3 boys and cherished that experience as they grew into men. in 2020, i began my Nanny journey, and have loved every minute of it. children are our greatest commodity and i believe i have a special gift to connect with children and help them to thrive and develop into the very best they can be! in addition, i have learned how to create healthy boundaries with a family unit by anticipating and being conscientious of family dynamics. ultimately i pride myself in helping a family to thrive as individuals and as a whole. i have learned that each family has their own unique parenting style and its own challenges each and everyday - it’s been my personal experience that i can lend myself into those challenges to lighten the load by my attentive nature, compassion, energy and kindness. i take great pride in my role as a Nanny and cherish the moment’s shared with a loving and growing family.

Amanda babysat for my two boys (11 and 8) for years and she became a part of our family. My kids love her - she is active, artsy, empathetic, always stirring them in the right direction and patience. We would hire her back anytime and miss her very much.

I have experience caring for both seniors and children, from 60-year-olds to infants as young as 2 months. As the oldest of six, I’m patient, reliable, and nurturing. I’ve worked in a daycare, been a nanny for two years, and I’m comfortable helping with routines, meals, light housekeeping, and keeping both kids and older adults safe, comfortable, and supported.

"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)."
