Hi there, my name is Regann. I currently looking for a long term family to work with. I am a certified early childhood educator. I love working with children. I’ve worked with children for 10 years in various different settings . I’ve worked in schools, teaching assistant, nanny, caregiver, and lead at an aftercare. I hope to be able to bring you peace while you are away from your precious children. I’m pretty laid back but know when I need to set rules and boundaries. I do not mind helping out with light house keeping, preparing meals, bedtimes and mornings. I have a vehicle of my own. I’ve worked with children age 6 mos-15 years. I’m happy to hear from you and help with all your childcare needs.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
