Asia $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Asia! I'm a natural caregiver with a background in early childhood working in Preschool for a few school years and a deep love for supporting kids' growth through play, nature, creativity, and routine. Over the past year, I've returned to nannying and tutoring and currently help families with school pick-ups, extracurricular drop-offs, homework help, and daily rhythms at home. You can usually find me outside with the kids, doing arts and crafts, reading together, or creating simple learning activities. I'm CPR + First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and happy to assist with light housework, laundry, and meal prep. I aim to be a calm, reliable presence that kids feel safe and excited to be around.

"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)."
