Hello! My name is Makayla and I am currently offering my nanny, babysitting, house keeping & other household services! I am passionate about childcare! With experience caring for kiddos between the ages of 3mo-8yrs old. At the age of 17 I was working full time as a nanny! While studying teacher PREP in high school. ( Online school due to lockdown) My responsibilities have included but not limited to- implementing age appropriate educational activities, meal planning and prepping, driving to and from school, establishing and maintaining daily routines and managing household tasks such as laundry, running errands and maintaining the home. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment that encourages curiosity and independence. Whether helping with developmental milestones, organizing engaging activities or partnering with parents to meet each child’s unique needs. I strive to be a helpful extra set of hands to the family I work alongside.

She was amazing, punctual and my kids love her (which is the real test). Would definitely hire her again

"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
