Booked by 1 family in La Crescenta, CA

I am a responsible, caring, and reliable nanny with hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children. I am also a mother of an 8-year-old daughter, which gives me a deep understanding of children’s daily needs, routines, and emotional development. Currently, I work as a nanny for two children, ages 1 and 3 years old. I truly enjoy spending time with children, creating a safe, calm, and nurturing environment where they feel supported, happy, and encouraged to grow. I am looking for additional babysitting opportunities in the evenings or on my days off from my regular nanny position. I am comfortable caring for newborns, babies, toddlers, and older children. I enjoy engaging children in age-appropriate games, creative activities, outdoor play, and educational activities that support their development. In addition to childcare, I can: • Prepare healthy meals • Assist with light housekeeping related to children • Help with elderly care • Take care of pets I am a non-smoker and maintain a healthy lifestyle with no bad habits. I am reliable, calm, patient, organized, and attentive to detail. I have been living in Los Angeles for 2 years. My English is basic, but I am improving every day and can communicate clearly for everyday needs. I am willing to obtain CPR and First Aid certification upon family request, and I would appreciate employer support for the certification cost if required. Families can rely on me to provide loving, responsible, and consistent care for their children.

“Great attitude, on-time, helped clean, and clear communication. The kids really enjoyed her.”

"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)."
