A Bit About Me – My Journey in Childcare Back in 2017, I found myself stepping into the world of childcare, mostly curious (and a little excited) about the fun, messy, and unpredictable world of daycare. What started as just a job quickly turned into something more—I realized how much I genuinely enjoy being around kids and helping them grow. That spark led me to enroll at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn to study childhood education more seriously. For about 3.5 years, I wore a lot of different hats in daycares—everything from assistant teacher to lead teacher—working with little ones as young as 6 months all the way up to 5 years old. After that, I shifted gears a bit and spent a year in afterschool programs with the older kids (ages 5 to 13) as a group leader. I’ve also been a helping hand for a few families on the side, stepping in whenever they’ve needed extra support. What I love most are the everyday moments with the kids—the silly laughs, the unexpected questions, the small wins that mean everything. No two days are ever the same, and that’s what keeps it exciting. For me, it’s all about being part of a child’s journey, watching them grow, and knowing I played even a small part in it.

$35 per hour for 1 child

I am a highly skilled babysitter with nearly 15 years of experience, complemented by a strong background in medical and first responder care. I am trustworthy, kind, friendly, and optimistic, with a genuine love for taking care of children. Having three younger siblings and three nieces has further strengthened my caregiving abilities. I enjoy exploring new activities with children, both indoors and outdoors, and I will go above and beyond to ensure their happiness. I have worked with multiple families, primarily in live-out positions, and each family has been satisfied with my childcare services. I understand the responsibility that comes with supervising children and am vigilant in preventing potential injuries. I pride myself on being honorable and honest. I have my own transportation and am willing to install car seats in my vehicle as needed. I thrive in fast-paced environments where meeting deadlines is essential, and I am comfortable managing multiple tasks simultaneously. I enjoy challenges and am committed to achieving your objectives. If you are looking for a qualified and dedicated individual who views challenges as opportunities for growth, I believe I am the right person for this job. References are available upon request.

"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."

"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)."
