Hi parents, Caring for children is more than just a profession for me, it’s a passion that comes from both experience and motherhood. As a devoted mother of two, I understand firsthand the trust, patience and love it takes to nurture and guide children through every stage of development. With over 10 years of childcare experience, I have had the privilege of caring for children of various ages, helping them grow in a safe, engaging and loving environment. I believe every child deserves individualized care, encouragement, and opportunities to learn through play, exploration and meaningful interactions. My approach is centered around creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere where children feel secure, valued and confident. I take pride in supporting developmental milestones, fostering creativity, promoting positive behavior and maintaining open communication with parents. Being CPR and First Aid certified provides an added layer of reassurance, allowing families to feel confident that their children are in capable hands. As both a caregiver and a mother, I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your children with the same level of attention, compassion, and dedication that you would. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family while helping your children thrive, learn, and create joyful memories every day. I look forward to building meaningful connections with families and providing the loving, dependable care every child deserves.

Hello all! I'm looking forward to meeting new families. I have been a childcare provider for twelve years and I love working with kids and babies. I went to FIT for fine arts, and I love to help children learn to paint 🎨 and explore their musical abilities (I teach guitar 🎸). I like to cook🥘, and my favorite meal to make is buttery cheesy pasta with veggies. I like to play music from jam bands like Kruangbin while helping with homework and studying. I know things have been challenging for everyone during this time, and I am happy to be a strong supportive presence for any family who needs me. Creating a positive, loving, tidy, and structured environment is very important. 📚It’s great to have reading time throughout the day and it’s important for kids to learn by example, so I like to read books to the younger kids, and have book time with the older kids where we all read our own personal books. My favorite book is The Girl Who Fell From the Sky by Heidi W. Durrow. For families that like to include technology in their little ones' routine, I like to use fun different language apps to help build a new linguistic foundation. I am an intermediate French speaker so practicing French, in particular, is fun for me. My most recent experience includes working with a 2 year old in Indonesia and two toddlers in Brooklyn. I love playing sports with kids and getting to run outside with them and have as much fresh air as possible. Tag and soccer are favorite games of mine and I like shooting hoops🏀 Everyone's safety is of the most importance, being strict about mask wearing, hand washing, and all around vigilance is essential. Be safe out there, and I wish you all luck on your search! Cassidy

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
