Hi! I’m a dependable and easygoing sitter with a background as a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy and previous experience as an assistant teacher and babysitter . I’ve worked with kids in structured classroom settings, so I’m comfortable managing routines, helping with learning activities, and keeping things both fun and organized. I’m trained in CPR/first aid and used to staying calm in any situation, so your child’s safety is always my top priority. I genuinely enjoy being around kids whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or sticking to bedtime routines, I try to make things smooth and comfortable for everyone.

I love helping children learn through creativity, sensory play, outdoor exploration, and encouraging independence. I’ve babysat and worked with a wide range of ages, including infants through school-aged kids, and I’m comfortable supporting routines, potty training, emotional regulation, and gentle redirection. I’m CPR/First Aid certified, Mandated Reporter trained, and have completed 12+ ECE units. Families describe me as nurturing, patient, and fun — and I’m always excited to bring activities, structure, and warmth into your child’s day. I’d love the opportunity to support 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)."
