Hi! My name is Hope. I've worked in the field of childcare for 11 years and as a nanny for 9 years. As a nanny I take a montessori approach to the education & general care of a child. I enjoy creating fun, intellectually stimulating activities for children & infants. I also enjoy taking children to parks, museums, libraries & festivals to learn about the world around them. I babysit in my free time. As a babysitter I enjoy entertaining children though games, reading, outdoor activities, etc. I am CPR/FirstAid Certified. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you and your families !

Hope was punctual and sprung right into action. I could tell she was an experienced caregiver because she was very comfortable with correcting my daughter while I was still around. She actually got on the floor and played with the kids. They both warmed up to her well. I will definitely use her services again.

Hi there! I am 26 years old and come from a huge family (20 aunts and uncles combined) meaning I have many cousins I have helped babysit! I have experience with infants to senior citizens and I work well with all pets! I have worked as a PCA in a nursing home and with special needs kids and adults in all various occasions. I have also worked with children in my church for several years (4-5 years). I love seeing children grow and if I can be apart of that journey then it makes me happy.

My passion for childcare began at my aunt’s in-home daycare, where I helped care for 6–8 children afterschool. I enjoyed feeding them, playing, and creating fun, memorable experiences. That early foundation led to four years of full-time experience with Sittertree and Care.com, two of the most trusted childcare platforms. I’ve cared for children from newborns to age 13 and have hands-on experience supporting kids with ADHD, autism, and Asperger’s. I’m CPR certified and bilingual in English and Spanish, which has been especially helpful for many of the families I’ve worked with. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Psychology (focused on family life studies). On Sittertree I was favorited by more than 70 families, and many of those relationships continue today. Those families still regularly reach out when they need reliable care. I bring patience, creativity, and a calm, structured approach to every sitting job, whether it’s a one-time date night or ongoing care.

"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)."
