$25 per hour for 1 child

Hellooo! I'm a compassionate, dependable nanny with over 6 years of experience caring for newborns, toddlers, and school-aged children. I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun while feeling supported and cared for. I have experience providing daily care, preparing meals, bottles, and snacks, supporting homework and learning routines, planning age-appropriate activities such as reading, crafts, and outdoor play, and managing bath time, bedtime, and morning routines. I also assist with light housekeeping, laundry, and organization to help keep the household running smoothly. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and known for my patience, reliability, and strong communication skills. I have strong cultural awareness and enjoy working with diverse families. I am also willing to travel to work in or outside of New York. I have experience caring for children from infancy through age 10, including infant care such as bottle preparation, diapering, and soothing. My goal is to provide dependable care, peace of mind for parents, and positive, meaningful experiences for the children in my care. One of the reasons I love working with children is that every day brings something new. Their curiosity, creativity, and unique personalities make spending time with them incredibly rewarding. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where children can feel comfortable, learn, play, and simply be themselves. Building meaningful connections with kids and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy is something I find incredibly rewarding. It’s a privilege to be a positive part of their day and to earn the trust of both children and parents.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
