Hello! Organized, patient mama to three boys (ages 7, 6, and 2). My ex husband and I share custody, and I help a few friends with their kids on my days off/weekends, errands, party planning etc. I’ve enjoyed it and just want to offer support to families who may also need another trusted set of hands and a caring presence. I bring positivity and kindness to everything I do. Super(mom) productive and experienced in managing multiple routines, caring for 5 children at once, and supporting emotional regulation with calm energy. I love how children learn through play, whether that’s arts and crafts, sports, reading, or outdoor adventures and I’ll always meet your child(ren) where they are. I can assist with household routines, meal prep for children, consistency with bedtime schedules, and smooth transitions/afterschool care. I care deeply about creating safe positive experiences for and providing parents confidence that your kids are in my capable hands. For a glimpse— IG: wrightstyle3

"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)."
