Hi! My name Is Marietta, I am 28 years old with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Biology. I also went to UNC Charlotte for graduate school and majored in Biomedical Sciences. I have been working with children since I was 15 years old. I worked at the YMCA for 6 years as an after school elementary and middle school counselor as well as a summer camp counselor. My responsibilities included planning, organizing, and conducting age appropriate activities. I also have plenty of experience nannying children of all ages as well as children with disabilities. I have been working recently with seniors, assisting them with their daily activities including bathing, dressing, grooming, getting to and from activities, meals and more. I have always had a passion for working with children, My goal is to become a Physician Assistant and specialize in pediatrics!

Marietta was fabulous with our spunky 5 yer old daughter. I felt totally comfortable with her driving and they did a huge variety of activities together!

My passion for childcare began at my aunt’s in-home daycare, where I helped care for 6–8 children afterschool. I enjoyed feeding them, playing, and creating fun, memorable experiences. That early foundation led to four years of full-time experience with Sittertree and Care.com, two of the most trusted childcare platforms. I’ve cared for children from newborns to age 13 and have hands-on experience supporting kids with ADHD, autism, and Asperger’s. I’m CPR certified and bilingual in English and Spanish, which has been especially helpful for many of the families I’ve worked with. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Psychology (focused on family life studies). On Sittertree I was favorited by more than 70 families, and many of those relationships continue today. Those families still regularly reach out when they need reliable care. I bring patience, creativity, and a calm, structured approach to every sitting job, whether it’s a one-time date night or ongoing care.

Thank you so much. We look forward to working with you.

Kaidence Charlotte
$16 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Kaidence! I’m currently a student at UNC Charlotte majoring in Exercise Science. Most of my childcare experience comes from being the oldest sibling and cousin in my family, so I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience with children of all ages. I’ve also volunteered as a softball coach for both preschoolers and middle schoolers, which taught me a lot about patience, communication, and leadership. I took honors classes in high school, and I’m currently CPR certified. I’m comfortable with most tasks—just let me know ahead of time, and I’ll be happy to help!

"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)."
