Booked by 2 families in Ferndale, MI

Hi Parents!! My name is Maram, and I’m 20 years old. I have 2/3 years of experience as a Behavior Technician, where I worked with children of different ages and supported their learning and growth. I truly love kids and enjoy helping with homework, reading together, and creating fun, creative activities that keep them engaged. Teaching is a passion of mine, and I always bring patience, positivity, and energy to my care. 💕 In addition to child care, I’m happy to help with pet care, whether that’s walking, feeding, or spending time with your pets to make sure they feel loved and cared for. I can also assist with household tasks like cleaning, laundry, light cooking, and keeping things organized. Families can count on me to be dependable, friendly, and responsible, while creating a safe and welcoming environment at home.

“Great!”

"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)."
