I’m the second oldest of 14 children, so caring for kids has been part of my life from the start. With over 10 years of professional experience in education, I’ve worked with children of all ages and developmental stages, from preschool to teens. I’m patient, creative, and attentive, and I enjoy engaging children in activities that are both fun and enriching whether it’s arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, or hands-on learning projects. Safety, kindness, and respect are at the heart of my caregiving approach, and I pride myself on building trusting relationships with both children and families.

Booked by 1 family in Kensington, MD

My name is Dulce and I am currently working as an early childhood educator. As a teacher I work with children and I love my job. I have taken care of children of varying ages. I like to think of myself as a dedicated, lovely and caring person and I think that dedication comes from my personality in the fact that any venture I take on I will put in my best and also the great responsibility it is to assist and develop a young person. Since I have a full time job I am only available for occasional weekend babysitting.

"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)."
