Booked by 1 family in Raleigh, NC

have several years of experience working with seniors in a residential community, where I provide support, plan activities, build relationships, and create a safe and welcoming environment. I come from a large family with many siblings and have always helped care for my younger siblings, family members, and other children, including providing childcare for infants through school-age children. I also have extensive pet-sitting experience because my family owns a dog business, and I regularly care for family members’ dogs and other pets. I am compassionate, patient, dependable, responsible, attentive, and trustworthy. I truly enjoy caring for others and making sure the people and pets in my care feel safe, comfortable, loved, and valued.

Chandler $21 per hour for 1 child

I’ve spent several years in education and childcare, and I’m especially drawn to the toddler and preschool years, where everything is new, exciting, and full of possibility. My background in teaching has given me a strong understanding of early childhood development, classroom structure, and how to turn everyday moments into meaningful learning experiences. I love planning hands-on activities, encouraging language development, and supporting social-emotional growth through play. I’m always intentional about creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel confident and cared for. Families describe me as patient, engaging, and calm under pressure. I value open communication with parents and enjoy partnering with families to support their child’s unique personality and needs. I’d love the opportunity to connect and see if I’d be a great fit for your family!

"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

"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)."
