I truly enjoy supporting families and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I have experience helping with daily routines such as preparing meals, organizing activities, assisting with homework, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping. My caregiving background has also helped me develop strong patience, attentiveness, and the ability to respond calmly in different situations. I value kindness, communication, and reliability, and I always aim to make both children and parents feel comfortable and supported. I would love the opportunity to help care for your family!

$17 per hour for 1 child

I have over 5 years of childcare experience and without it I wouldn’t have made it through undergrad. Entertaining kids with silly theatre games or French classes has been a joy in my life and in many ways your children become an extension of my family. I am the eldest of two brothers with a 7-year gap between the eldest and an 18-year gap between the youngest. It is safe to say I am a second mother in my family and caring for my family has served as my training. I hope to do more than just watch your child but to add to their language skills and teach them fun confidence boosting theatre games as well. I am also a licensed Registered Behavioral Therapist with over 6 months experience teaching autistic kids adaptive skills.

Jennifer Houston
$20 per hour for 1 child

I have worked with children since I was 10 years old starting with babysitting for friends and family. When I got older I learned I wanted to be a social worker as I am now trying to get my social work degree from Texas State University through online courses. I have experience in working with children who are on the spectrum (4+ years), working at a daycare, and working at church through Sunday school to teach children about God. I have a CPR certification. I have a cat and two dogs of my own.

"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)."
