Booked by 2 families in Durham, NH

I have recently become available to provide nanny and babysitting services again. I am an experienced nanny/babysitter who has been babysitting since age 11. I have been a nanny for the past 6 years working mostly with infants ages 6 weeks to 3 years. I have raised 4 grown children, three boys and a girl ages 39 to 25. I have ECE coursework and worked in a daycare part-time. I love children and have taught Sunday school for many years for infants and toddlers for a larger church in the area. I believe spontaneous play is the best way to learn but incorporate age-appropriate learning and activities into play. I have a good knowledge of music, enjoy the outdoors and going on parent approved excursions. I am patient and loving and just really enjoy working with infant and toddlers but work well with all ages. I started in the healthcare field as a medical assistant and medical transcriptionist and did this for many years so I could be home with my own kids. I have decided in the last few years to follow my passion in working with children and started working for families with children ages 2 months 10 years. I absolutely love it and am looking for long term and consistent work. I am CPR and first aid certified. I have a BS in Psychology and also worked in the Care Ministry at my church. I do love animals also so pets in the home are not a problem.

Super punctual, great with kids, definitely recommend.

"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)."
