Hello! My name is KeTarrah. I am 19 years old, a fresh high school graduate, and I am very passionate about children. I hope to be a mother one day, but until then I’d like to care for the children already here. About Me! 🎀 My favorite color is pink, my favorite season is autumn, I love movies and tv shows and music! I enjoy the arts. I am a hugeee horror and romance fan. Nightmare on elm street is my favorite horror series of all time. Need To Know 🏹 My travel distance includes these cities: Hamtramck, Roseville, Eastpointe, Dearborn, Saint Clair Shores, Warren, Harper woods and anything around those areas! Just ask! Unfortunately I do NOT have my own vehicle yet, I am actively working towards that goal but I do have reliable transportation. I am NOT comfortable with any pets in the home. I do currently have another part time job, but I keep my schedule open and flexible. As A Nanny As a nanny, I personally believe in balancing screen times, appropriate bed times, routine bathing, mental and occasional physical exercise, and teaching life skills and manners. Boundaries and set routines are always up for discussion. I do not believe in spanking, hitting, yelling or ignoring children as punishment. You will obviously do what you want to your own children but I have a 0% violence / abuse tolerance policy on my own end. I am open to sending a full detailed resume to anyone interested, I appreciate whomever took the time to read this, have a gorgeous night 🎀

"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."

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)."
