I have worked with elementary school children ever since I was in middle school in a variety of settings: afterschool care jobs, tutoring, and dance class teachers. I graduated with my undergraduate degree in elementary special education and was a teacher in Hawaii for 3.5 years and tutored for more years in California. I am currently a mental health therapist and have worked with children and teens.

Jose $23 per hour for 1 child

Hey how’s it going everybody, i grew up in Orange County. I lived in a group home for quite some time, involving other mothers with a variety of ole McDonalds little farm animals. Since i was the oldest I’d watch over kids way younger than me. Great at matching energy which often gets the little rascals to reciprocate, such as winding down for a nap. Empathy and patience are embedded in me for various personalities, shy or vocal. Love kids in general, I mean what can I say, they are the future 🙌🙌🙌 I’m excited for some action! 🏃‍♂️💨 Or nap time 👏😴😅

"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."

Amy L., mom of one

"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

"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)."
