Dear Parents, It would be a privilege to partner with your family in providing exceptional care for your child. My professional background offers a unique blend of high-level administrative leadership and over eight years of dedicated nannying experience, including previous work with high-profile families in the Seattle area. Prior to my career in childcare, I served as an Executive Director in the nonprofit sector. In this capacity, I oversaw the implementation of the SAFE KIDS COALITION programs across five Washington counties, managing state-funded deliverables and public health initiatives. This experience granted me an expert-level understanding of child safety protocols, best practices, and the importance of meticulous documentation. I view the role of a nanny as a position of great honor and responsibility and am a firm believer in the power of mutual respect. My disposition is naturally enthusiastic yet steady, and I find great joy in bonding with both children and family pets. I offer a sophisticated level of common sense, punctuality, and flexibility, and I am eager to bring this positive energy into a new home. I have excellent references and would be happy to share my full professional history via LinkedIn. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how I can support your family’s specific needs. Warmly, Bonnie

Hi there! I'm Emily. I just moved back to the PNW after 7 years in NYC. I joined UrbanSitter because I love kids and want to spend time teaching, playing, and learning with children. I love arts & crafts and the outdoors. I'm always up for anything! I have experience with children of all ages (newborn to teen) and was a counselor for a summer sleepaway camp for 5 consecutive years. Additionally, I am Red Cross and CPR certified. Let me know if you have any other questions and I hope to hear from you soon!

"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)."
