My name is Kalanne I am 26 years old and I am originally from Destin FL. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and started to take on more Nanny responsibilities by the time I was 16. I am comfortable with all age groups. I have experience with new born babies and have watched kids up to 12 years old. I taught swim lessons for 4 years in high school and loved it. I am comfortable with other household duties, and taking kids to activities. I am also very comfortable with all kids of pets and have no problem taking care of those babies as well! I love to do arts and crafts, and reading stories. I’m very flexible with my schedule but prefer not to work too many weekends but I can definitely work those weekends if absolutely necessary. I love being a nanny it’s very rewarding. The kids always keep me young, and I love to learn from them as well.

"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)."
