Booked by 1 family in Sherwood, OR

Hi there! I'm a former elementary school teacher with a degree in Education and years of experience supporting children's growth both in and out of the classroom. I've worked with kids of all ages - from infants discovering the world for the first time to confident upper-elementary students developing independence and emotional awareness. Teaching gave me a deep understanding of child development, learning styles, and the power of connection, and those same values guide the way I care for children today. As both an educator and a mom, I know how much trust it takes to invite someone into your child's world. I bring calm, consistency, and creativity to every environment I'm in. I love planning activities that are meaningful and engaging - story time, nature walks, hands-on crafts, science experiments, or just baking something fun together. My approach is centered on nurturing curiosity, confidence, and kindness in every child I meet. Families describe me as reliable, intuitive, and warm-hearted. I balance structure and play, making sure children feel safe, heard, and happy while parents can fully relax knowing their little ones are in capable hands. Whether it's school pick-ups, bedtime routines, or full creative play days, I treat every child with the same care and respect I give my own daughter. Caring for kids isn't just something I do - it's truly what I love.

Fantastic help! Will hire again :)

Lexi $18 per hour for 1 child

Hey there! I'm Lexi, My journey working with children started when I was 14. I did a lot of babysitting gigs and volunteer work with pre schools and my siblings schools. I loved it! I am 27 years old. I am a current preschool teacher at a local Montessori school. Sadly with covid things have gotten slower. With Montessori I work with a couple different ages, 11 months to 5 year olds. Outside of Montessori I have nannied all the way up to 16 year olds. Babysitting / Nannying has always been something I enjoy because I love being around Littles. I enjoy seeing kid's happy, teaching them new things and seeing them learn new things, taking them on adventures, letting them have fun, but in a safe environment. Being a positive and supportive influence in a child’s life is important. I have three younger siblings and we do a lot of activities all year round. I like to get them out and about, not just have them cooped up in a house all the time. I do like to stay to a schedule. If you have a schedule already I follow them. I have Babysat a number of littles and treated each one just like they were my own. Comfortability is a big thing! I have my CPR , Food-handlers , and other school required hours/certificates. If there is anything more you would like to know feel free to ask!

"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)."
