Autumn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am currently a student at San Francisco State University pursuing my degree in Elementary Education. I also hold an associate’s degree in Child Development and am excited to apply the knowledge I’ve gained through hands-on experience while caring for your kiddos. I have worked with children ages 1–10 since I was 15, and working with kids is truly my passion! I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children can learn and grow. I’m happy to help with light household tasks and always prioritize making sure your kiddos are happy, healthy, and having fun. I also have no pet allergies and enjoy spending time with furry family members!

"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)."
