Hi, I’m MJ, and I’m 29 years old. I have many years of childcare experience and have been caring for children since I was 15, working with newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age kids. Right now, I’m currently nannying for two children, ages 6 and 8, and I also provide backup care by covering shifts for a full-time nanny when needed. This has given me strong experience adapting quickly to different family routines, school schedules, activities, and household needs. In the past, I also cared for a baby from 3 months to 12 months old, so I’m very comfortable with infant care, including feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I enjoy engaging children through play, reading, educational activities, tutoring, and helping with routines such as swimming lessons. In addition to childcare, I can assist with light household tasks, organizing, errands, and pet care. I’m a dog owner myself, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets as part of supporting a busy household.

MJ is so kind & my boys had nothing but great things to say about her ! I would definitely hire her again! 10 out of 10 I really recommend hiring MJ for your family !

"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)."
