Maria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! I'm Maria, I grew up in a big family loving my role as the built-in babysitter, best aunt, and favorite cousin. I turned my love for taking care of others into real, hands-on experience with kids from every age — from infants and toddlers (8 months–2 years) to elementary kiddos (3–9 years), even some wonderful teens. I've worked as a nanny, assistant teacher, tutor, and even a preschool dance coach, so I know how to keep little ones learning, moving, and having fun. I'm patient, kind, playful, and always ready to be there for our little ones, whether that means turning cleanup time into a game or calming down a case of the terrible two’s. I also bring a serious side to the fun: I am extremely dependable and have first aid and medical assistant experience, so I'm comfortable and confident handling health or safety concerns when necessary. I'm currently finishing my Psychology degree, which just deepens my love for understanding how kids grow and think at every stage of life. I am always willing to help where I can and I’m ready to help your family!

"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)."
