Booked by 1 family in Oakland, MI

Hi, I have been working with children for 12 years. I was a lead pre K teacher at a school based child care center for 6years, I assisted children ages 3years old up until 6years old. I transitioned from teaching to nannying for a family I met at my former job as pre k lead teacher. I have experience with picking up dropping off children to school and to extracurricular activities as well as homework help and I assisted family during summer vacation, taking children swimming, to the park. I also designed summer reading plan for children over the summer so they could go back to school and excel with extra reading in the summer. I am very experienced in educating children in reading, science, and math. I loved both of my experiences. I am currently pursuing a career as a pediatric occupational therapist.

Booked by 1 family in Oakland, MI

I am 20 years old and I have childcare experience back to the age of 10, babysitting nieces, nephews, not to mention working at the boys and girls club, and most recent I worked in ABA with children ages 3-7 (children on the spectrum), along with being an assistant teacher at a child develop center. With that being said I would love to work with your family next, thank you.

"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)."
