Hi, my name is Carine, and I’m an energetic and creative 28 year old! I have my associates degree in history and am just shy of having enough credits for an associates in early childhood education as well. I will be continuing to obtain my bachelors degree soon in hopes of pursuing a career in teaching.  I have been nannying professionally for the last 5 years. I recently moved back from New Jersey, where I was a live in nanny for 2 years. I worked for that family, which consisted of 3 boys aged 2, 4, and 6, for the last 4 years. I was responsible for: school and extracurricular pickups and drop-offs, meals, after-school help, occasional nighttime routines, and occasional overnights. I have worked for quite a few families in the last 5 years with children that ranged from newborn to 12 years old. Please feel free to request references! My focus is on giving your child a safe, routine-focused, and creative space to learn and grow into a wonderful person. I love doing crafts, baking, pretend play, encouraging independent time, and outings when appropriate. I’m firm but kind, and will work with you on any challenges your child may come to face. I have my own car, I’m a nonsmoker, and I am comfortable with pets of any kind. I look forward to meeting you!

Former 2 year Aupair here :) I took care of a one year old and 4 year old at the same time. Tasks were: Morning routine, Make breakfast & lunch, driving to school, nap time, homework and playing. Also took care of 3 kids at the same time: (6,8,11 years old). Tasks were mainly driving and homework. Also taking care of 2 dogs (feeding, walking, playing). 2 baby boys ( year 1&2) Morning and Night Routine, driving, preparing food, often watched the baby’s over night. I love every age group can’t decide which one was the best. I grew up in a big family with 3 younger and one older sibling, so I’m used to taking care of more than just one kid. I also love animals and am happy to take care of them too

“We are so grateful for Og. She started working with our family last spring, and has been a steady and calm presence in our children’s lives. Og is extremely patient and kind, and has a genuine interest in learning about and supporting our children. She is a complete professional, always reliable, punctual and communicative. Most importantly, our children feel safe and cared for when they are with Og.”

"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."

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)."
