Booked by 51 families in Arlington, VA

I am an active 63 year old woman who was born in Buffalo, NY. My educational background includes a BA in English education and I taught elementary school before becoming a reading specialist. I left teaching to join the American Red in New York as the Assistant Director of Blood Services. I am the mother of two happy, healthy and highly successful sons. As the years passed, I volunteered as a after school tutor, taught Sunday school and supported many families with child care. I have great passion for supporting families in being successful raising this precious new generation. I enjoy the opportunity to nurture infants as they grow and change each day. Most babies appreciate a little rocking and a soft, sweet song. Toddlers to preschoolers bring me laughter. Their energy and openness to imagination games, a walk to count puppies, a trip to discover new books at the library or having a dance party. School age children have already well defined interests. If they enjoy piano, I make a great audience or if they have an interest in basketball, we'll be at the hoop or if they prefer baking, I'll help them discover new recipes. My goal is to support growing families by fitting into your plans and needs.

Margaret was absolutely lovely! She watched our two year old and was fantastic with him - he felt immediately at ease with her and she even brought him toys to play with - a special treat especially when traveling with a toddler! We were lucky to book her for two days and she was comfortable playing in our hotel room with him and also taking him on a stroller walk. She was an absolute delight, professional, on time, and our son enjoyed spending time with her. She immediately put us at ease and we were able to enjoy a family wedding weekend without worrying. Highly recommend Margaret!

"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)."
