Booked by 42 families in Jamaica, NY

I have over 10 years of experience as a nanny and babysitter working with children ranging from newborn through elementary age. I also have a background in theater and love bringing that creativity and energy into my work with children. I view my role as a nanny as a teacher and believe children learn best through engagement, play, and exploration. I make it a priority to be fully present with the child rather than distracted by my phone. I enjoy taking children to museums, parks, libraries, and other activities that encourage curiosity and social development. I also have experience working in Early Childhood Education with a teaching style closely aligned with Montessori principles. I believe in positive redirection and creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore independently. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to incorporate Spanish language exposure if interested. Coming from a Latin culture, I enjoy exposing children to different cuisines while always respecting dietary restrictions and family preferences. Depending on the child’s age, I also like involving them in meal prep and hands-on learning experiences. In addition to childcare, I enjoy helping maintain a clean and organized home through tidying, bottle cleaning, and meal prep support. I am currently part of the NYU Teacher Residency program and am seeking part-time work until my program begins in August.

My name is Tania. I have so much energy and will become your babies best friend. I’ve always loved working with kids, animals, anything artsy, creative and Early Childhood Development. I have been a nanny for the Upper East Side, Brooklyn and Queens. I am thirty years old and I posses nearly twenty years’ progressive experience caring for children of all ages. I know I can help your child exceed in their education and character. I love being able to help children learn and grow to their full potential. Pets are okay! I like to ask parents if they'd like a quick update while they're out. Sending a quick message and picture to let them know that everything is going well has been part of what's helped me create lasting relationships with so many families. I am organized and thorough, I have a calm and patient manner and I understand the dangers around children and what they should not be doing. I have worked with kids witch have the softest of voices. As well as kids with the biggest of smiles and loudest of voices. I have gained a solid experience caring for children of all ages in a broad variety of stimulating activities. Nannies create an impact that is unforgettable.

“Tania has been working with our family full-time for almost a year, and I feel incredibly lucky that we found her. As a new parent, I was worried about leaving my son and going back to work. Tania seamlessly fit into our family and made the transition more comfortable.Our son adores spending time with her. Even when he had a bit of separation anxiety, the sight of Tania would make him ready to bid us goodbye for the day! Tania is a strong communicator. She ensures that we are updated with cute photos throughout the day. If there are ever any questions or concerns (on our part or Tania's), we promptly address them together. Tania regularly asks about our parenting approach as new things come up and strives to reinforce it. It feels like we are a team. Tania's energy is unmatched. She is always willing to come early and stay late, even at the last minute. Tania keeps things educational and interesting while giving our son space to safely explore. She respects his likes/dislikes.”

"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)."
