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”

Hi! I'm Kadima, a happy, energetic college student with 5+ years of childcare experience. I'm naturally great with kids and love keeping them engaged in a fun, safe, and supportive environment. I work with an event childcare company, caring for large groups of children (40+ at a time), and I've also been a birthday party hostess and in-home babysitter for families. I have experience shadowing an RBT, working with children with special needs, which has helped me become patient, adaptable, and attentive to each child's needs. I also have experience as a CNA doing homecare. Super okay with pets too (and I'm AHA Certified for Basic Life support! Yay!) I bring a positive attitude, reliability, and lots of energy to every family I work 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."

"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)."
