Clean background through clearchecks. I am currently looking for a full time-long term position with the right family. Open to part time. I consider myself loyal, honest, dedicated, giving, loving, consistent, confident, patient, reliable and kind. I love to laugh and smile, value healthy communication and reach far beyond my responsibilities for families. I am a believer of love, equality, humanity, health & wellness. My part as a nanny/caregiver is such like a village with a family and I hope I can find a new one that will humbly know how special their children/child will be in my life, on a daily basis. I incorporate my love for/training in the arts/painting/photography/music, nature exploration to foster play based learning, inside and out! Individual growth is ideal! I strive to provide "above and beyond" as a private childcare provider, tailoring individual needs for each family is special. This is essential to develop a well-rounded true, honest family unit. I seek to work with families to set gentle, loving boundaries and maintain routine. It's beautiful to experience milestones with youth and the family. I'm a wealth of knowledge for what age appropriate resources available outdoors and amazing fun and (age appropriate), healthy and fun learning tools there are to have indoors/ outdoors as well! | organize daily activities and maintain routine, structure and socialization.

Nurturing young minds and supporting families is my passion. For the past three years, I've had the joy of caring for children aged newborn to 11 years. I hold a graduate degree and find fulfillment in fostering each child's unique growth and development. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing outdoor sports and educational games. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children and enforcing household rules. To keep you informed, I provide written daily reports, chat during pickup, and send regular text updates. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I'm excited to bring my experience and dedication to your family, creating a safe and enriching environment where your children can thrive.

Appreciate the flexibility on short notice. She was very helpful!

I’m CPR certified, up to date on all my vaccinations (COVID, flu, Tdap), have a clean background check, and hold a valid California driver’s license. I speak both English and Portuguese, companionship, light housekeeping, meal prep, and transportation if needed. I’m responsible, patient, and always committed to creating a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment. Looking forward to connecting with a great family!

Deisi was wonderful! She watched my 16 month old daughter for the afternoon. She was very responsive and great at communication which I really appreciated since I needed last minute care when my regular childcare was unavailable. Deisi was so kind and my daughter seemed to have a lot of fun with her! I would love to hire her again!

"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)."
