Hello families! My name is Melissa, and I am a dedicated and energetic caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages through babysitting, after-school programs, summer camps, coaching, and teaching. I currently work as a Physical Education teacher and have extensive experience creating safe, engaging, and positive environments for children. I am patient, dependable, organized, and great at building strong connections with both kids and parents. My background in education and sports coaching has helped me develop excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills. I love keeping children active, helping with homework, planning fun activities, and supporting their emotional well-being. In addition to childcare, I also have experience with pet care and household assistance, including meal prep, light cleaning, organizing, and maintaining routines. I am comfortable caring for pets and understand the importance of providing loving and attentive care to every member of the family. Families describe me as trustworthy, compassionate, responsible, and full of positive energy. I truly enjoy helping others and creating a warm, supportive environment where children and families feel comfortable and cared for.

"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)."
