Hi I'm Karah, I’m a local with experience caring for infants and up, including watching multiple children at once. I’m currently pursuing my associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and love creating a fun, safe environment through Disney, board games, and play. Working with kids truly inspires me, and I enjoy helping each child feel happy and supported. I look forward to hearing from you! CPR/AED certified (American Red Cross) Active CDL

Hello! I'm Violeta, currently a graduate from James Madison University. I have 5+ years of experience working with children. Starting with babysitting for family friends, I've expanded to helping families in the neighborhood. I have have experience working with children of all ages. I love engaging kids with hands-on activities and getting them outside on nice days. I have been a long term nanny for 3 boys for a year now and have repeat families that I have worked with through different apps. I'm excited about the possibility of using my childcare experience to contribute positively.

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 like having a family member come and watch our son. She was so great with him. He really enjoyed spending time with her. If you need a sitter I 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."

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
