Welcome to your child's home away from home! With over 10 years of childcare experience, I provide high-quality, home-based care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. My goal is to give parents complete peace of mind while creating a place where children feel comfortable, valued, and excited to spend their day. My home is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood within walking distance of several parks, the public library, kid-friendly restaurants and shopping, and a skate park, giving children plenty of opportunities for outdoor play, exploration, and age-appropriate activities. Whether we're reading books, creating crafts, playing outside, or enjoying home-cooked meals together, every day is designed to be active, enriching, and fun. I specialize in flexible care, including overnights, weekends, and last-minute bookings. My home is smoke-free, alcohol-free, clean, and child-friendly, and I strive to provide the consistency and warmth of a true "home away from home." Parents receive regular updates, photos, and communication throughout the day so they can feel confident and connected while their children are in my care. I believe every family deserves dependable, compassionate childcare built on trust, communication, and genuine care.

For those who are in need of a professional, reliable, honest, patient and responsible babysitter, I recommend Zeporia. Always on time and energized each day for all task to be completed. Zeporia has different activities for all ages. I highly recommend her for the job.

"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."

"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)."
