Hi Families! I'm Mischa-Paige, a Newborn Care Specialist, Nanny and House Manager, as well as a proud volunteer for the International Nanny Association. With over five years of experience—four of those in full-time roles — I’ve had the privilege of caring for children ranging from 6 months to 13 years old. Before starting my career in childcare, I worked as a Marketing Coordinator for a Children’s Charity Organization, which gave me a strong foundation in both communication and compassion. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with many amazing families, providing not just childcare but also emotional support to children, parents, and even pets! Making your life a little easier and your home happier is what I’m truly passionate about, and I’m excited about the opportunity to work with you!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
