Looking to grow littles with compassion for the future! Hello! I’ve been a caretaker since my little brother was born 41 years ago! I’m a very interactive caretaker from pet care, childcare and hospice care. I love seeing families grow. I’m an adventurer, gardener. I love to explore and seeing lightbulb moments of littles learning. I have a plethora of nieces and nephews. I’ve been with families from new born, bottle feeding to elementary school and still active with them and been present for those at the end of life. I have references you can contact and I live in Long Beach. I’m CPR/ first aid certified and a serv safe food handling manager with culinary training. The littles I just finished with started school, swim and dance so I’m looking to find a family long term to grow with! Have a great day!!

"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)."
