Saran $21 per hour for 1 child

I grew up in a single-parent household where caring for others became second nature to me very early on. As the oldest, I naturally stepped into a role that was a mix of big sister, helper, protector, and built-in babysitter for my younger brothers. A lot of who I am today comes from those experiences like helping with homework at the kitchen table, making meals, keeping routines together, comforting my siblings when they were upset, and learning how much patience and consistency matter to children. That’s honestly what inspired me to continue into babysitting outside of my family over the last 4 years. For me, childcare has never felt like simply “watching kids.” I genuinely love creating environments where children feel emotionally safe, comfortable, understood, and free to be themselves. I’m naturally very calm, nurturing, and attentive, and I always try to bring warmth and positive energy into the homes I work in. I’m 25 years old, grew up in Maryland, and outside of childcare I love baking, hiking, and spending time outdoors. I’m someone who values kindness, communication, and being a dependable presence that families can truly feel comfortable with.

"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)."
