$22 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Tacoma, WA

I personally have a seven and a half year old. They have some special needs so I was a stay at home mom for 5 years. For the last year and a half I was working with infants 0-3 month olds. My place of business closed and I am looking forward to getting to know more age groups and age gaps. I have been a sitter for kids, cats, dogs, fish, snakes, lizards, and yes, some bug types. I enjoy the curiosity and stages of mental and physical growth with kids. My strengths are commination and structure. I like to know the schedules and needs of everybody so I can be the most successful help.

"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)."
