I have 6 years of experience working with children, along with a Master’s in Science and strong real-life caregiving skills as a mother of two.

Nicole $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate recent graduate in Physician Assistant Studies, currently seeking professional opportunities while awaiting completion of my credentialing. Before entering PA school, earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of California, Riverside, where I was a four year collegiate athlete and served as captain during my final year. My preclinical and clinical experience have provided me with a strong foundation in both medical and interpersonal care. I have worked in a pediatric ophthalmology clinic and on the adolescent unit of an inpatient psychiatric hospital prior completing my Masters. During my pediatrics rotation, I cared for patients ranging from neonates to adolescents, further strengthening my clinical skills and my commitment to providing compassionate, family-centered care. In addition, I have over three years of experience teaching tennis to children ages 3-18, which honed my ability to connect with young people, communicate effectively, and foster growth through patience and encouragement.

"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)."
