I’m 21 years old, I’m currently studying in the medical field on The Weeknd’s, I obtained my high school diploma and I been to college for 1 year studying business management. I’m from queens Jamaica, I’m 5’1 with short curly hair. I grew up with a lot of my cousins and taking care of them at a young age. I know how to make ends meet and I’m very responsible, caring and friendly. Most of my family would say I’m a great caregiver because I know how to take care of myself and the people around me. I know how to cook and also I’m opened to learn more new things about cooking. I’m currently not driving so taking public transportation won’t be a problem. I’m available throughout the week and not on the weekends unless I’m needed. I’m hoping that I can be considered to be welcomed into a lovely family and to take care of their kid and not disappoint them.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! As a formal and reserved childcare professional with +8years of experience, I'm dedicated to supporting families by providing reliable childcare services. My passion for positively impacting children's lives stems from my previous babysitting roles, where I discovered my aptitude for nurturing and caring for young minds. When it comes to communication with parents, I adapt to their preferred method, ensuring open and effective dialogue about their child's day and any concerns that may arise. My approach to household rules is guided by the parents' lead, respecting their parenting style and values. I thrive in engaging children through various games and activities, from outdoor sports and physical games to board games and puzzles. My graduate degree has equipped me with a strong educational background that complements my childcare skills. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children and have experience with a wide range of age groups, from toddlers to preteens.

She’s amazing!! I have known her for a long time and she’s a very trustworthy and responsible person! She’s great with kids.

"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)."
