I hold a degree in Communications with a major in Advertising and Publicity. For over a decade, I worked in the corporate world, specializing in commercial and business development roles. At Ernst & Young (EY), I contributed to creating strategic business plans, managing client relationships, and supporting account development, experiences that refined my ability to organize, manage, and adapt to complex environments.

Over the past six years, I've built a versatile career by taking on roles such as au pair, nanny, house cleaner, janitor in a residential building, Airbnb cleaner, and professional organizer. These diverse experiences taught me the value of care - not just for children, but for homes and the people living in them. They also showed me how much I enjoy combining my organizational expertise with my passion for creating warm, functional spaces. This journey inspired me to establish PixieCarex, a business where I bring my skills, dedication, and a sprinkle of magic to every family I work with.

Hello, I'm Sumeya, a student with a deep passion for working with children. My long-term goal is to become a pediatrician, and in the meantime, I am gaining hands-on experience as a caregiver. Last year, I worked with Amicable Healthcare as a full-time caregiver for two families and have also assisted children with disabilities. Through these experiences, including caring for infants, I've developed a genuine love for nurturing children in a safe, engaging environment. I am an energetic, physically active person with a strong interest in sports like soccer, basketball, and biking. Although I have a slight phobia of dogs, I’m actively working on overcoming it and I’m open to working in homes with dogs. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable with housework and running errands. I hold a valid first aid and CPR certification, ensuring I can respond appropriately in emergency situations. My love for children extends beyond basic care—I also enjoy teaching them creative activities like painting and engaging in outdoor adventures. I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the growth and development of children while creating a positive and nurturing environment.

Hi! I am a proactive, joyful, and hands-on caregiver with over 9 years of experience working with children from 6 months to 15 years old. I like to think that I bring more than just childcare, I bring intention. My approach focuses on helping kids build independence, confidence, and self-esteem through routines, choices, and age-appropriate responsibility. I grew up as a scout, so I’ve been leading, mentoring, and engaging with children from a young age. I’m calm under pressure, firm yet kind when setting boundaries, and always thinking one step ahead. I believe in open communication with parents and love collaborating on what works best for each child’s needs and personality. I’m also happy to share my native Spanish and basic French with kids in fun, natural ways. I’m CPR and first-aid certified, fully vaccinated, and comfortable with pets. Happy to talk more with you!

ā€œLeslie was fantastic! She was with us for a full week taking care of our 1 1/2 year old. He loved her. She had so many fun ideas of crafts and things to do together. They made cookies together even! She was great at asking questions and communicating with us. We would highly recommend working with Leslie!! ā€

"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)."
