I've always had a passion for helping children develop and grow. With over 25 years of experience, I have the skills and knowledge to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child from new born, toddler and preschoolers. I'm extremely patient, and friendly. I know how to communicate effectively with parents about their child's day. I follow the parents' lead in enforcing household rules and am comfortable caring for one child or two children at a time. I'm a big kid at heart. I'm not afraid being silly with kids. I enjoy playing all sorts of games with children, both indoors and outdoors. Also love to have my own story time, music dancing and art class with a little one !!! In addition to my Early Childhood Development coursework, I have First Aid and CPR training, and am TrustLine certified. I also speak Chinese and English. As a caregiver, I'm committed to fostering a positive and enriching experience for both children and their families.

We have been fortunate to have Kelly help raise our daughters (3 years and 10 months old) for the past 2.5 years. During that time she has been a wonderful part of our family. Our daughters adore Kelly. She brings a fun, warm energy with enthusiasm daily. She reads and sings with our girls throughout the day in both English and Chinese. Every day, she takes our daughter outside on a walk or visit to the library. She is also great at mealtimes getting our kids to eat full meals. With our older daughter she would help with art projects. She is attentive and gentle with our 10 month old. She shows genuine affection and care for our girls and they clearly love her. Kelly is reliable - she shows up on time (typically early) ALWAYS and comes in ready to care for our daughters right away. We’ve needed her help for 10 hours each day, and she remains attentive to our kids all day. Kelly is conscientious - she always changes the baby’s diaper before handing her off to us. And she is dedicated - she worked overtime hours when we needed extra help when my wife went into labor with our second. We especially appreciate Kelly understands the importance of the big variables to solve for with young kids - full sleep and good meals - and she communicates regularly about their naps and appetite. Altogether, we’ve had a wonderful experience with Kelly. We would happily and readily recommend Kelly to another family.

As a nurturing and experienced childcare provider with six years of experience, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of children. I am patient, calm, and possess a creative imagination that fuels engaging activities. My friendly and approachable nature allows me to build strong relationships with the children in my care. I prioritize open communication with parents, ensuring they receive regular updates about their child's day and any concerns that arise. I adapt to their preferred communication method, whether it's verbal communication at pickup, text messages, or phone calls. When it comes to household rules, I am very comfortable enforcing them while maintaining a positive and nurturing environment. My goal is to help children understand the importance of rules and boundaries while fostering a sense of respect and responsibility.

"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)."
