Olu-Ebube $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate, dependable caregiver with a strong background in childcare, senior care, and household support, grounded in my work as a postpartum doula and direct-care provider. I have hands-on experience supporting families with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and elders, and I bring a calm, nurturing, and safety-focused presence into every home I serve. As a doula, I specialize in emotional support, routine building, infant care, feeding support, soothing techniques, and creating a peaceful, organized environment for families. I am deeply attentive to children’s emotional and developmental needs and enjoy engaging them in age-appropriate activities such as reading, creative play, music, gentle movement, and outdoor time. I also have experience providing non-medical senior care, including companionship, light meal prep, household assistance, and cognitive-supportive engagement for elders with memory or mobility challenges. I am patient, respectful, and attentive to individual needs and dignity. In addition to caregiving, I offer household support services such as light cleaning, laundry, organization, simple cooking, and errand assistance, helping families feel supported and less overwhelmed. I am CPR/First Aid trained, reliable, and committed to creating a safe, warm, and supportive environment for those in my care.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
