Hi, my name is Solana. I currently attend Fairleigh Dickinson and I’m offering my services while on break from school. I am an experienced and dependable babysitter with over six years of hands-on childcare experience caring for children of various ages. Throughout the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of children’s needs, routines, and personalities, allowing me to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I’m known for being patient, attentive, and trustworthy, with a natural ability to connect with children and make them feel comfortable and supported. I take pride in being reliable and responsible, ensuring parents feel confident and at ease when their children are in my care. I’m skilled in maintaining daily schedules, preparing meals, assisting with homework, and organizing fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. My experience has taught me how to handle challenging situations calmly, communicate effectively with both children and parents, and adapt to each family’s unique needs. Babysitting isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m committed to providing high-quality care that supports both children’s growth and parents’ peace of mind.

"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."

"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)."
