With years of experience caring for homes, pets, and children, I bring reliability, warmth, and professionalism to every family I work with.

I truly enjoy being around children and animals, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment. Whether it’s keeping a home organized, ensuring pets are happy and well-cared for, or engaging children in meaningful activities, I approach every responsibility with genuine care and attention to detail.

Casey $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Casey — a highly responsible, energetic, and experienced caregiver with many years of hands-on work in childcare, senior care, and household support. I worked as a nanny throughout my college years, served as a CNA in a nursing home, and previously worked as a lifeguard — so safety and attentiveness are second nature to me. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, supporting seniors with daily needs, and managing multiple household responsibilities with care and professionalism. I also speak Spanish and am a safe, vigilant driver. Friends’ children affectionately know me as “Auntie Casey,” which captures both my warmth and reliability. I love to cook, am happy to help with cleaning and organization, and genuinely enjoy creating a calm, fun, and structured environment. I’m currently seeking temporary work for the next 4 weeks before I move overseas to get married. I’m flexible with scheduling and eager to support families during this season. Looking forward to connecting!

"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)."
