Hello everyone, I began my career as a Montessori preschool teacher, where I developed a deep understanding of child-led learning, developmental milestones, and creating enriching, structured environments. In 2019, I transitioned into professional nannying, bringing my classroom expertise into private homes to provide personalized, high-quality care. My approach blends Montessori principles with attentive, individualized care ensuring each child feels secure, confident, and inspired to explore their world. I am warm, patient, and caring, always valuing safety, respect, and open communication. I strive to communicate clearly and kindly, fostering an atmosphere of trust. When working with children, I like to use positive reinforcement, simple explanations, and consistent follow through to create a supportive environment. With parents, I remain organized and transparent, making sure everyone feels heard and valued.

She was wonderful. Very patient with our toddler and he had so much fun with Miriam.

Hi! My name is Jessica. I am a recent college graduate with my Bachelor in Health Services Administration. I am a dedicated mom, and a proud pet parent offering child care, pet care, and simple household services. I recently completed my internship at an after school program where I worked with middle school students, helping supervise activities, support events, and assist with daily tasks. I also have previous babysitting experience and understand the importance of creating a safe, patient, and nurturing environment for children. As a pet owner, I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also provide simple household help such as light cleaning and organizing. I am reliable, compassionate, and committed to providing loving and trustworthy care for every family I work with🫶🏼!

I’m a responsible and adaptable caregiver with extensive experience caring for children ages 1-8. My flexible personality helps me connect easily with kids of all ages. I’ve cared for multiple cats and dogs throughout my life and currently have a cat, so I’m completely comfortable with pets in the home. I understand that every child is unique, and I pride myself on adjusting my approach to meet each family’s specific needs and routines. Whether it’s engaging toddlers with creative play, helping school age children with activities, or providing reliable household support, I bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for working with both children and animals to every family I work with.

Hi! My name is Kaidy- I graduated with a B.S. from West Virginia University in 2013, then continued to take classes towards a Master’s degree in Education shortly after. I have worked both as a preschool teacher and a full-time nanny since then. I am offering childcare, such as nanny and babysitting, and pet services. I’ve always loved taking care of kids; I started babysitting at 11 years old and continued that career path through my adulthood. I’ve worked with children off all ages ranging from infants and toddlers (including twins!), all the way through high school age. I have the education and training to care for all different types of children through my work as a Paraprofessional; this includes children with developmental, behavioral, and/or learning disabilities as well as children with autism. In my previous nannying experience, my responsibilities with the children have included (but are not limited to): driving or using public transit to take children to school, museums, parks/playgrounds, and sports; daily arts and crafts; STEM experiments; teaching phonics, basic math, writing skills, and homework help; integrating music through guitar, song and dance; and creating engaging, and often educational, daily games. Additionally, I offer household services to the families I work with, such as: laundry, cleaning general play areas, cooking meals, and running errands. I have both a dog and a cat at home- I love animals! So I am offering pet care services as well. I am trained and certified in infant/child/adult CPR & First Aid, and I have utilized my skills several times working with children. I have successfully preformed the Heimlich Maneuver on separate occasions for a baby and a toddler, as well as identified the signs of a child experiencing an asthma attack and immediately used their rescue inhaler. I have also administered regular medication to children (and pets!) and I feel totally comfortable doing so. I don’t have any children of my own, but I grew up the oldest of 30 first cousins and I have absolutely loved being able to care for them, as well as children of any age and background; to see them grow, and help them flourish, is an honor that I don’t take lightly. I am confident in creating a fun, engaging, and educational experience for your little ones. I hope to show your family the compassion and strong work ethic that I have to offer!

I highly recommend Katherine M (Kaidy), who served as our family's nanny for two and a half years. Her dedication to childcare and consistent professionalism would make her an asset to any family. Kaidy joined our family when our children were in diapers and stayed through their transition to school. She created meaningful learning experiences daily, taking the children to museums and playgrounds, and turning their curiosity into opportunities for growth. Our children's faces light up whenever she arrives, and they ask for her on her days off. She has become their trusted confidante - someone they seek out for comfort and conversation. Through her consistent care and attention, she has built a relationship with our family that will stay with our children for years to come. She excelled at supporting our children's education. She taught our toddler phonics, establishing early reading skills. When our older child started school, she helped with mathematics homework, showing her ability to adapt her teaching to different ages and subjects. She managed household tasks efficiently, handling laundry, tidying, and grocery shopping without prompting. Her ability to anticipate and address household needs made her essential to our family's daily routine. Her punctuality stood out - she arrived on time or early 99% of the time. When she anticipated delays of even ten minutes, she communicated promptly via text message.

"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

"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)."
