Hello, I’m Nicole! I’m a warm, responsible, and experienced childcare professional with over 10 years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children. My background in childcare and child development has given me the skills to create a safe, nurturing, engaging, and structured environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. As a former Girl Scout from Daisy through Cadette, I developed strong values around leadership, responsibility, and dependability from an early age. I have experience supervising children throughout the day, managing routines, preparing meals, assisting with homework, organizing fun age-appropriate activities, and confidently caring for children in the absence of parents. I’m known for being patient, friendly, trustworthy, and highly reliable. I handle challenging behaviors calmly and respectfully while maintaining clear boundaries and structure. I take pride in being punctual, professional, honest, and dedicated to providing exceptional care. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate comfortably with diverse families and children. I also have a strong passion for working with children and supporting their well-being and development. I currently attend college on weekends and have a long-term passion for healthcare, with aspirations of continuing to grow in the medical field. My ultimate goal has always been to work in pediatric care, which reflects my genuine love for helping children thrive. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide loving, dependable care for your little ones.

"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)."
