I have been a dedicated nanny for 13 wonderful years. I am enthusiastic and energetic about life and the work I do. I am looking for a long-term, consistent position with a family that I can grow with. Most recently, I was with a family for 10 years. I began working with this family when the boys were 2 mo. and 2 years old. It was especially important that I meet the needs of each individual boy. We did many activities together. Lots of reading, trips to the museums, parks, and lots of play time. Time was also spent just relaxing and enjoying the world around us. I also assisted with homework and school activities as the boys got older. They also now have a lovely daughter who is 2 y.o. General household management/organization are also on my skill list. From laundry, errands, and healthy meal preparation to transportation to activities. I am experienced caring for newborns and infants also. I was part of my first family for 3 years. I started with them prior to the birth of their very loveable twin boys. I helped care for the twins, their curious 3 y.o. sister, and their adventurous 6 y.o. brother. It is fantastic being with families with many children!! There is never a dull moment:):) I have a Master’s Degree in Psychology. Prior to my career as a nanny, I worked as a home based therapist / case manager for children and adolescents, many of whom had special needs. I have a calm, easygoing personality. I love to laugh and have fun!! In my spare time I enjoy reading, keeping fit, cooking, and giving my dog lots of TLC:):) I am punctual and thorough. I drive a safe, reliable, 4-wheel drive vehicle, and have a safe driving record. I can provide excellent professional and personal references. Thank you for taking the time to read my biography. Be Well, Maureen

I am a caring and reliable caregiver with hands-on experience working with infants and young children. I currently work as an Infant Assistant Teacher and I am also a mother, which has strengthened my patience, organization, and nurturing skills. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and structured environment where children can grow and feel secure. I am attentive to routines, feeding, naps, and developmental activities, and I always prioritize children’s safety and well-being.

Hi! I’m a Northeastern University student with several years of childcare experience from working in a daycare and babysitting for families. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, helping with routines, playtime, and early learning like ABCs and basic skills. I’m very patient, reliable, and love creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for kids. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, meals, and bedtime routines. I have CPR and first aid knowledge (currently renewing certification), and I take safety very seriously. I’m available for occasional, part-time, or consistent weekly care and would love to support your family!

"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)."
