Booked by 1 family in Downey, CA

Hands-on experience caring for children, as a dedicated parent, which gives me deep empathy, patience, and understanding of children’s needs and routines. Patient and nurturing: I know how to meet people where they are—especially helpful for seniors or children who need extra time or support. Reliable and responsible: I show up consistently and take pride in doing work right. Service-minded and communicative: I genuinely care about others and know how to connect with them, whether it's a child needing reassurance or a senior needing companionship. Detail-oriented: I keep track of routines, medications, schedules, or special instructions without missing a beat.

Reliable, safe choice for help :)

A Nanny Who Feels Like Family 🧸 Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic nanny with several years of childcare experience. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where every child feels supported, valued, and encouraged to grow. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy planning engaging activities while helping with daily routines and developmental milestones. I also have experience working with children on the autism spectrum and those with developmental disabilities. I understand that every child has unique needs, and I pride myself on being compassionate, adaptable, and committed to providing individualized care. My goal is always to build trusting relationships with both children and their families while creating a positive and supportive environment where every child can thrive.

I hold a degree from California State University, Dominguez Hills, and bring three years of hands-on experience working at Disneyland — one of the most child-centered environments in the world. In that role, I developed a strong ability to engage children with patience, enthusiasm, and care while keeping safety a top priority. Whether it's storytime, creative play, or just keeping the energy up, I bring the same magic and warmth to every family I work with.

"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)."
