Hi - My name is Corey and I'm currently a nanny. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks.

I worked with various ages from newborns up to age 16. I really enjoy nannying for kids! I also taught swim lessons to children in groups up to 20 for 7 years which involved children in day camp. I was also a teacher's aide for English for 7th graders. I taught a week of poetry to grade school children, corrected papers, and helped the teacher. I taught art in Montessori schools for groups up to 14 children ranging in ages from 3-8 years old. I also worked for a daycare and watched up to 5 babies at one time while maintaining their feeding and diapering schedules and reading to them. I supervised up to 8 toddlers at a time and made sure they were entertained, fed and diapered at appropriate times. I also watched up to 10 five year olds at a time and we all had a ton of fun while playing and learning together! I have also cared for twins together! I clean bottles, change diapers, bathe and dress children, take children to the park and to activities as well as supervise play dates. I do household management duties such as car rental, oil changes, scheduling a plumber and letting him know the issue. I organize parties. I do grocery shopping and light housekeeping. I cook.

I’m a caring, responsible, and patient childcare professional with 8 years of experience working with children. I have 6 years of experience caring for toddlers and 2 years of experience working with infants, which has helped me develop a strong understanding of children’s needs, routines, and development. Although I’m new to working as a private nanny, I’m excited to bring my childcare experience into a more personal setting where I can build a strong connection with the children and family I work with. I enjoy creating a safe, loving, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I’m dependable, organized, and willing to be flexible with a family’s routine. I’m also comfortable around pets and happy to help with reasonable household tasks such as tidying up after the children, doing their laundry, preparing simple meals, and keeping their areas organized. I’m looking forward to finding a family where I can be a trustworthy and supportive part of their everyday lives.

"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)."
