Atmavidya 1 review
$17 per hour for 1 child

Glorious Day! I am Atmavidya "Adryn" Mari. I am the eldest of eight siblings and the eldest of my extended family on my mother's side. I have been raised with many children and have supported the upbringing of all my siblings. Being surrounded by children keeps one young and fun at heart. I am short in stature, so I am always on a child's level. I enjoy allowing children exploratory experiences as their minds are young and shaped by engagement. I tend to give children parameters, rather than hard rules. Letting them fill in the gaps is important for their mental and emotional growth. I love reading, taking nature walks, playing in the garden, visiting the farmer's market, meal prepping, experimental food creations, painting, coloring, and laying in the grass looking at the sky. These are all activities I am open to sharing with your child(ren). I am currently caregiving for my grandmother whose mind is experiencing Alzheimers. I share this experience with my mother. I mainly oversee meal preparation (shopping, prepping, and cooking) and spiritual study. We speak a great deal about God and keeping our spiritual health strong while enjoying plant-centered meals. I am a strict vegetarian, so I am unable to feed or cook with meat, eggs, or fish. Yet, my child-friendly cooking skills are on point - Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, marinara with hidden vegetables, just to name a few. In the past, I have taught three years of gardening classes at Durham Elementary for every grade level, including pre-K. It was a gift to witness the enthusiasm and wonder of young minds experiencing food grown through their influence. I tutored in English and facilitated an after school program at a middle school in Northern California. I am a certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and am currently working on a degree program in Spiritual Metaphysics. I have been using my Ayurvedic degree to support families in realigning their kitchens to promote a sattvic lifestyle because how we engage with food overflows into every aspect of our lives. The kitchen is the center for bringing in homegrown herbs, local produce, and for cultivating a positive mindset through interactions with food and people. This is something I am enthused to speak of more and happy to integrate into my interactions with your family, if interested. My smile is contagious. I appreciate sharing hugs. I am overly honest and handle feedback well. Looking forward to getting to know you and supporting your family.

Adryn has babysat for me many times. She was incredibly thoughtful and nurturing to my little one. She created space for both active play and intentional rest. My daughter was usually fully engaged in activities when I came to pick her up and she couldn’t wait to hang out with Adryn again. I felt very comfortable leaving my daughter with her, knowing she would be well fed, respected, and cared for.

"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)."
