Breanna $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello- I'm Breanna and I'm a former teacher (children's programming an aquarium and later in schools) who is on her way to becoming an Occupational Therapist. I take pride in my dedication to learning and following guidelines for exactly how parents wish for me to care for their children and home. I enter with an open mind and utilize my teaching experience and observational skills to notice how best your child thrives. This allows me to get creative with finding age-appropriate learning opportunities in daily activities and adventures. I feel very comfortable driving to/from school and activities, cooking meals, taking care of pets, and overnights as needed.

"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)."
