Hi, my name is Carine, and I’m an energetic and creative 28 year old! I have my associates degree in history and am just shy of having enough credits for an associates in early childhood education as well. I will be continuing to obtain my bachelors degree soon in hopes of pursuing a career in teaching.  I have been nannying professionally for the last 5 years. I recently moved back from New Jersey, where I was a live in nanny for 2 years. I worked for that family, which consisted of 3 boys aged 2, 4, and 6, for the last 4 years. I was responsible for: school and extracurricular pickups and drop-offs, meals, after-school help, occasional nighttime routines, and occasional overnights. I have worked for quite a few families in the last 5 years with children that ranged from newborn to 12 years old. Please feel free to request references! My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing crafts, baking, pretend play, encouraging independent time, and outings when appropriate. I’m firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to face. I have my own car, I’m a nonsmoker, and I am comfortable with pets of any kind. I look forward to meeting you!

Creating a nurturing and engaging environment for children is my passion. For the past three years, I've enjoyed providing reliable care to families, supporting their needs with patience and a calm demeanor. I hold a college degree and am comfortable caring for one child, ages newborn to 11. My approach involves fostering creativity through imaginative play, educational games, and outdoor activities. I'm happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, and swimming supervision, as I am a skilled swimmer. I communicate regularly with parents via text or phone, always respecting their preferred method. Enforcing household rules is something I'm very comfortable with. I am First Aid and CPR Training certified. Ultimately, I want to bring joy and peace of mind to your family. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and your little one!

So professional and flexible!

"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)."
