I loved to working with kids because I enjoy spending time with children. I find joy in watching little grow, learn new things and explore the world around them. I'd describe my personality as Caring, reliable, and patient. I like working with kids because I truly supporting children's growth and creating a safe fun environment. I'm looking for a job that where I can use my childcare experience to support a family, while also continuing to grow my skill. I started working with children in 2018, so I now have over 6 year of experience. During that time, I have cared for children in both home babysitting setting and daycare environment. One thing you should know about me is as a mother of 3boys, I understand the importance of patience , care and structure. My skills include keeping children safe and nurtured, supporting their learning and development through fun activities, and being reliable, patience that families can count on.

"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."

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)."
