Booked by 9 families in Emerson, NJ

Hi! I'm Sarah, and I’m a part time graphic designer, but right now I mostly nanny! I've been babysitting since middle school as the oldest of the kids in my neighborhood. I'm Red Cross certified (so if there's ever a choking hazard or a boo boo I'll be to the rescue!) and I love working with children, especially multiple children at once because I love to see their dynamic. I also love answering kids' questions and helping them learn and grow as individuals. I treat them with respect and autonomy, which builds their confidence as well as their comfort with me as a new adult in their lives. I hope you think I'm right for you! I request that you and your children be fully vaccinated with the latest rounds of COVID vaccines, as I want to keep myself, my family, and the other children I care for safe. Thank you!

"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)."
