Keira $25 per hour for 1 child

Aloha! 🌺 Born and raised in Hawaii, I bring positive energy, patience, and a love for the outdoors to every family I work with. I've been babysitting for over 1.5 years and have experience as a live-in nanny, helping with school drop-offs and pickups, meal prep, diaper changes, playtime, and outdoor adventures. I've also provided consistent care for an 86-year-old senior, assisting with daily household tasks, meal preparation, and creating a comfortable, supportive environment. As a lifelong animal lover with years of pet care experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds and understand the importance of treating them like family. Families can count on me to be dependable, trustworthy, patient, and attentive. I'm highly communicative, organized, safety-conscious, and adaptable to each family's unique needs and routines. Whether we're exploring outside, getting creative with games and activities, helping with homework, or caring for furry friends, my goal is always to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident knowing their loved ones are in good hands.

"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)."
