Hello, my name is Dana. I have a BA in English and Film and Media Studies from Arizona State University. I am CPR/first aid/AED certified for infants, children, and adults, as well as dog and cat first aid certified. I am proficient in household cleaning, as well as cooking. I have had a lot of personal and professional experience with dogs and cats of all breed and personalities. I am the eldest of my two sisters and eight younger cousins and I have a 6-month-old niece-taking care of babies and children has always been a part of my personal life. I have pet sat, house sat, and babysat for years, professionally, on the side of my main job. Before my resignation, I worked at Starbucks as a barista and barista trainer for five years. Staying clean and organized during chaos is one of my biggest strengths, as well as having a sharp memory and great people skills. In my free time, I love to play with my cats, Frankie and Carol, take my family's dog, Sandy, out to the park, read and write literary fiction, and volunteer at different organizations. I have a California state drivers license with a perfect record.

"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

"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)."
