Hey friends! Welcome to my profile 🤗 My name is Stephanie, I am the youngest of 5 and I have 5 dogs! I currently attend Montgomery College, majoring in Environmental Science and Policy and Minor in Environmental Horticulture. I also work for a non-profit called City Blossoms, an organization centered around youth driven gardening🌱 I have a strong background in early childhood education. I studied child development all throughout high school and taught fifth grade science as my senior internship. At the time, I also worked in a private preschool as a teachers aid to toddlers and infants. From 2018 to 2025 I worked at a non-profit called, the Student Conservation Association (SCA), leading youth environmental education programs for youth pre K-12, and restorative conservation projects with high school and young adult teams all across the National Capital Region. In 2023 I was contracted to be the Houston Community Program Coordinator. This position gave me the opportunity to work with schools, helping them plan and build their schools community garden and led lessons on food sovereignty in Houston, Texas. To add to my childcare experience, I also nannied for my directors daughter when she was just 6 months old at the time and have babysat for the same two families from 2019 to 2023. Aside from childcare, I love spending my time outdoors, exploring new restaurants, and cook for my dog! I look forward to meeting your family🫶🏼 Best, Steph :)

"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)."
