Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic person who genuinely loves spending time with kids! 💛 I have an education in Child Development and experience working with children in my community and around the world, including children’s homes in India and Africa. These experiences have taught me how important it is to make every child feel safe, valued, and understood. I love getting to know each child’s personality and finding ways to make our time together fun, whether we’re playing, crafting, reading, exploring, or just being silly! 😊 My goal is for your kids to feel happy and cared for while you have peace of mind.

Hi! I’m currently a senior at California State University, Fullerton (CSUF), and I have a genuine passion for caring for children and animals! I’m a responsible, patient, and compassionate person who loves helping others and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I have over 5 years of experience working with children, including children with autism and different developmental and behavioral needs. Through my experience, I’ve learned the importance of patience, understanding, communication, and adapting to each child’s unique personality and needs. I enjoy keeping children engaged through fun activities, educational games, arts and crafts, and helping with homework. I love being able to make a positive difference in a child’s day while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in caring hands. I’m also a huge animal lover and have been caring for pets since I was young! I have experience looking after dogs of different ages, including senior pets who may need extra attention, patience, and medication. Whether it’s going on walks, feeding, playing, or simply giving them lots of love and attention, I always treat every pet as if they were my own. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m happy to help with light household tasks, keeping spaces tidy, and maintaining a comfortable and organized environment. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children, pets, and home. My goal is to provide dependable, loving, and attentive care while making your life a little easier. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

"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)."
