Booked by 2 families in Sherwood, MD

Hello! My name is Unique, and I am a caring, dependable childcare provider who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and feel loved. With experience as both a preschool teacher and substitute teacher, I have had the opportunity to work with children of various ages and personalities, creating safe, engaging, and nurturing environments where they can thrive. I believe every child deserves patience, encouragement, and individualized attention. Whether we're reading stories, exploring creative activities, playing outdoors, helping with homework, or simply enjoying everyday routines, I strive to make each child feel supported, confident, and valued. I understand that inviting someone into your home and entrusting them with your children is a big decision. My goal is to provide dependable care that gives parents peace of mind while creating a positive and caring experience for their children. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable preparing healthy meals and snacks, assisting with school pick-ups and drop-offs, maintaining children's spaces, and supporting family routines. I am CPR and First Aid certified, Food Safe certified, and experienced in preparing meals for children with food allergies and dietary restrictions. I would be honored to support your family and look forward to learning how I can best meet your child's unique needs.

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

"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)."
