Hi! I’m Unique, a dependable and engaging childcare professional with nearly 10 years of experience working with children as a preschool teacher, substitute teacher, nanny, and babysitter. Safety is always my top priority. I’m CPR/First Aid and Food Safety certified, with training in major food allergens. I’m attentive, reliable, and committed to creating an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I also love making our time together fun! From arts and crafts and outdoor adventures to reading, imaginative play, and educational activities, I enjoy finding creative ways to keep kids engaged. I bring a great balance of safety, structure, patience, and fun—and I treat every child with the same care and attention I’d want for my own family.

“Unique was great! She arrived early and my baby loved her. I appreciate her attention to detail. She made sure she understood my child’s needs/ routine and was mindful to check how I prefer to receive updates. Will book again”

Nikki $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Nikki. I recently retired from the federal government and am excited to now dedicate my time to helping families in my community. I’m a proud mom of four wonderful adult children, ages 20–32, and I bring over 32 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. My childcare experience started early—my grandmother owned a daycare, and I worked alongside her in high school providing before care, aftercare, overnight, and full-day care. That experience gave me a strong foundation in creating safe, nurturing, and fun environments for children. I also hold a Food Handler’s License, so preparing meals and snacks is never a problem. In addition to childcare, I love pets and would be happy to help with pet sitting. I also enjoy supporting seniors and am available for non-medical companionship, light errands, or simply providing a friendly helping hand. I truly love caring for others, whether it’s children, pets, or seniors, and I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate.

"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)."
