Hi, my name is Camaiya, and I’m an experienced and caring nanny with over six years of hands-on childcare experience. I truly love working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe in a positive environment. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of different ages and have developed strong skills in creating fun activities, supporting learning, and maintaining a structured routine. I’m known for being patient, dependable, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I enjoy planning engaging activities like arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games that help children develop both socially and creatively. My goal as a nanny is always to create a safe, loving, and supportive space where children can thrive. I do have my certs as well with a certification in gentle parenting, if that is the parenting style you are interested in.

"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)."
