Pepper $27 per hour for 1 child

I go by "Pepper". I'm a trained early childhood education professional, and a Registered Behavior Technician. I currently work as a naturalistic play therapist for kids 3-6. I am comfortable and experienced caring for children with disabilities of all kinds, including AAC users and non-verbal kids. I can support potty training and I'm comfortable with older kids who use pull-ups/diapers as well. I LOVE arts and crafts, reading books, dance parties, building awesome things, kid-friendly cooking, and playing outside! I love engaging and playing with kids to make sure they are having fun, and try to avoid screentime as much as possible. I will actively engage and play with your children and not just watch them. My strengths are managing challenging behavior and fostering independence when it comes to household and self-care routines. I am completely comfortable with pets of all kinds; large dogs, rodents, reptiles, invertebrates etc! I do not smoke and I live in a smoke free home.

"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."

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)."
