Booked by 27 families in Menlo Park, CA

My name is Monserrat and I am a 26 year old recent graduate from UC Berkeley. I have over 10 years of experience in caregiving and an extensive educational background in education and human development. I have experience with all age groups, and several learning/developmental disabilities, predominantly ASD. I love working with families and getting to know their young one’s unique, vibrant personality and I hope I get to know yours! I have experience working with children of all ages, although I have more experience with younger toddlers. I am comfortable caring for multiple children at once, as well as doing household tasks whenever there is any downtime. I love to cook and do well with picky eaters- as I grew up being one myself! Together we can work through any allergies, or restrictive diets to make sure your child is getting the necessary nutrients they need! In addition, I have years of experience tutoring. Aside from my time as a peer tutor throughout grade school and college, I worked as a Spanish instructor throughout the pandemic. I also have been volunteering teaching English to adults for about two years now. Additionally, I am CPR/AED and first-aid certified. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns about my experience. I look forward to hearing from you!

"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)."
