Hello my name is Kalah. I am a 31 year old mother of 2. I have a Bachelors degree in biology and worked with children and adults with developmental, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities for 11 years prior to becoming a mother myself. I come from a military/law enforcement family, so I’m great with punctuality, organization, structure, and cleanliness but I’m also a creative who loves cooking, dancing/music, travel, and fashion. I have no age preference, as I work well with all ages. I am first aid/CPR/AED certified, BLS certified and have been a nanny for 14 years now.

Hi, my name is Shumaila. I am currently working part-time as a babysitter and am open to long-term commitments. I am a mother of two and bring a warm, energetic, and caring approach to every family I work with, while maintaining a high level of professionalism. I have over 8 years of paid experience caring for children from infants to toddlers and can provide excellent references upon request. In addition to childcare, I am a certified chef and offer weekly meal prep services for families. I specialize in Pakistani and Indian cuisine but can confidently follow any recipe and accommodate dietary needs, including healthy, halal, vegetarian, or customized meal plans. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management & Logistics, which strengthens my organization, time management, and planning skills—helping me better support busy families. I hold a college degree and am fluent in English. I am also a ServSafe Food Protection Manager certified professional and Adult & Pediatric CPR/AED/First Aid certified by the American Red Cross. I take pride in supporting families not only with loving childcare but also by making their daily routines easier through nutritious, home-cooked meals.

"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)."
