I am 23 and an actor now residing in NYC. I was born & raised in Indiana and used to help keep my Nana company and would assist with my younger cousins. Being an actor, I love to play make believe with the little ones. I was also an assistant improv instructor for kids ages 5-12 and an acting teacher for neurodiverse/disabled teens and adults. I enjoy doing creative projects and interacting with children (preferred ages 4-12). Learn more about me at[removed] Pet Care 🐾 I’ve never met an animal I couldn’t befriend. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, fish, and even some reptiles! Feel free to inquire about more specifics. You can also find me on Rover.

ā€œMadison was very friendly, super punctual, and great to communicate with. We will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we are in NYC. Thanks for hanging out with William tonight! ā€

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.

ā€œShe was wonderful. Very patient with our toddler and he had so much fun with Miriam.ā€

"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)."
