Esmé 3 reviews
$40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Mercer Island, WA

Hi! I’m Esmé, a certified postpartum and infant care doula with over ten years of experience in childcare, including four years working in a daycare setting. Growing up in a large family with more than 40 cousins, I was often surrounded by babies and young children, an environment that provided the foundation for both my confidence and knowledge on caring for little ones. Through years of hands-on experience with countless families, I’ve gained a wide range of practical knowledge, tips, and tools to support parents and kids. Being constantly immersed in communities of parents and children has shown me how essential strong, compassionate support is when raising a child. I would love to become part of your support system and to care for you and your family every step of the way. I offer both daytime and overnight support to best meet your family’s needs.

"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)."
