I’m a reliable and caring nanny with over 10 years of experience providing attentive, safe, and engaging care for children of all ages. I’m skilled at creating fun, educational activities, maintaining routines,and handling responsibilities with patience and professionalism. Parents trust me for my strong sense of responsibility, clear communication and genuine love for children’s growth and wellbeing..

Fatou is amazing! She has been with us since our son was 3 months old, and she has truly become part of our family. She’s cared for both our toddler and our 9-year-old with such warmth, consistency, and skill. We’ll miss her as our 3-year old starts preschool but you would be lucky to have her care for your child!

"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."

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)."
