Hi families! 👋 I’m Carolina, and I’ve been working as a babysitter in NYC for over 4 years. I have experience caring for children from newborns to school-age kids. I’m loving, patient, and always focused on making sure kids feel safe, happy, and stimulated. My experience includes feeding 🍽️, diaper changing 👶, nap and bedtime routines 💤, organizing fun games and creative play 🎨, and helping with schoolwork 📚. 💡 I also have experience supporting children with emotional needs and always adapt to each family’s style and routine. I was an au pair for 2 years and have worked with many families since then — some for occasional care, others long-term. 🏥 I’m CPR & First Aid certified and always prioritize safety. Even though I’m new to this platform, I have excellent references from families I’ve worked with. I’d love the chance to connect and support your family! 🩷🩷🩷 Let me know if you’d like to connect! 😊

"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)."
