I have hands-on experience caring for children, pets, and the elderly, and I understand the responsibility these roles require. I create safe, nurturing, and fun environments for kids while supporting their routines and needs. I am experienced in pet care, including feeding, walking, and daily attention, and I provide compassionate support to elderly individuals, assisting with daily activities and companionship. I also help with household services, including cleaning, organizing, and meal preparation. My background includes working as a teacher’s assistant, interning at a middle school, and serving as a caregiver for more than a year. I currently care for my brother’s dog when he’s away. These experiences have strengthened my reliability, patience, and commitment to providing attentive, responsible care.

Hi I’m Nomi, I am a dedicated, compassionate, and experienced nanny with over six years of extensive childcare experience caring for children from newborns to school-aged kids. Throughout my career, I have created safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive while giving parents peace of mind. My experience includes infant care, bottle feeding, diaper changes, sleep routines, potty training, school drop-offs and pickups, homework assistance, meal preparation, light housekeeping related to the children, organizing educational and creative activities, and maintaining consistent daily schedules.

"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."

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)."
