Montse $30 per hour for 1 child

I am an experienced childcare provider with 5 years of full time nanny experience, including live in, and have been babysitting for much longer. I pride myself in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for the children in my care. I am dedicated to ensuring children's well-being and development, implementing age-appropriate activities, and developing strong relationships with parents. I have experience taking children to various activities, organizing educational and recreational outings, and managing all household tasks related to the child. I love art in my personal life and like finding ways to implement that through age appropriate crafts! My full time experience has been primarily infants and toddlers, but I have experience with all ages. I am young and energetic which helps me really keep up with busy children and develop deeper connections. I absolutely love this job and aspire to be a career nanny, this is not temporary for me, so I would really love to find a family I can grow with long term. I am travel ready (global entry, valid passport) and comfortable traveling both domestically and internationally for work. I am CPR/First Aid certified and knowledgeable in water safety.

"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)."
