Brandi $25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Brandi! I am 22 years old and a senior at North Carolina A&T State University. I currently major in marketing and I own a photography business. I live in the Anne Arundel County, Annapolis area and absolutely love working with kids. I grew up with a daycare in-home for 18 years. Over the years, I’ve learned the importance of creativity and patience as every child requires it. I’ve even worked closely with many children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This has required being kind, offering help, and paying close attention. Working with children of all ages has given me the responsibility of school drop offs/ pick ups, feedings, fun activities, clean up, homework help, and more! I love to see kids just be kids, have fun, and be happy, as there are so many pressures in this world. Playing a part in that happiness is so special to me. I am also great at running errands as I get them done while communicating efficiently!

"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)."
