Margo $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm Margo - a mom of 3 adult kids, and I owned, operated & successfully managed a home childcare "business" for 15+ years. While it was technically a business, to me it was building an extension of my own family. I built a strong reputation & client base & consistently had a steady waitlist, and I am still in touch with all of my families to this day. Unfortunately, Covid shut it down & now I'm ready to begin my next chapter on a smaller scale as a nanny in a family's home! I have so much to offer & I'm excited to get started! I am a fun-loving, positive, energetic, warm, upbeat, reliable, resourceful, dedicated, nurturing & patient caregiver. I am great with kids (and people) of all ages 0-100! I always maintain open communication with parents. It is super important to me to keep communication open so we can work together to allow your child to grow & develop at their own pace, and so your child can feel secure in knowing they have a village of people who love them very much. I engage kids & babies of all ages with games, puzzles, music, play & crafts; organize age-appropriate activities that develop physical, emotional & social growth; and spark creativity by helping little ones discover new things each day. We do all this while having fun! For the not-so-fun moments that come along with child care, I am warm, loving, patient, nurturing, and calming. I also have my own templates for daily activity, nap, diaper/potty, meal & behavior reports that can be sent to you if you'd like. This space is too small to fit everything, so let's chat so I can tell you more!

"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."

"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)."
