Booked by 1 family in Gilroy, CA

I truly enjoy working with children of all ages — from infants and toddlers to school-age kids. I am patient, nurturing, and attentive to each child’s individual needs and personality. With infants, I provide gentle, loving care and close attention to routines such as feeding, naps, and developmental milestones. With toddlers and school-age children, I create a safe, structured, and engaging environment that supports learning, creativity, and positive behavior. I value clear communication with parents and believe consistency and kindness help children feel secure and confident. In addition, I take pride in maintaining a clean, organized, and welcoming home. I am detail-oriented and efficient with housekeeping tasks, ensuring living spaces are tidy, sanitary, and comfortable. I am also compassionate and dependable when caring for seniors. I understand the importance of dignity, patience, and companionship, and I provide attentive support with daily activities while promoting independence and safety.

"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)."
