Hi there! My name is Emanuela and I have collective experience of 40 years in childcare (my own pets, kiddos and family members included :)) pet care,elder care, household cleaning, the fitness field, and working with people who have developmental disabilities. I am currently in the NJCCIS registry, on another platform for Pet Services and currently working on getting certified as a trainer so I can work with people who have developmental disabilities; hoping to motivate and inspire them to be their best selves. I am also a Stephen Minister, walking alongside people as they journey through life's struggles. I love to create in the kitchen, exercising, learning, reading, and inspire others to tap into their strengths and shine! I hope, along with you to see if we are a good fit for each other.

Hi! I am a upcoming freshman at Montclair State University and I’ve been babysitting for my neighbors and local families for a while now, and I really enjoy working with kids. I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure the kids have fun while staying safe. I can help with homework, snacks, bedtime routines, and light cleanup. I’m also comfortable with pets and can help with small errands if needed. I love creating a positive and caring environment, whether it’s playing games, reading, or helping with school projects. Parents can always count on me to show up on time and keep things running smoothly.

"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)."
