Maria $30 per hour for 1 child

I would describe myself as a communicative, open-minded, happy, friendly, supportive, polite, and creative nanny. I am also a very responsible, hard-working, and reliable person. I am committed to providing a safe environment and being a true friend to your children, enjoying a variety of activities together. I am someone you can genuinely trust. I have experience working with children of different ages (from newborns to 5-year-olds), both in home settings and in daycare centers for about seven years. I truly enjoy working with children because I love witnessing their curiosity, their daily achievements, and the way they learn and grow. My short-term goal is to complete my studies and apply the knowledge I gain to better support children and their families in their holistic development.

"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)."
