Hello! My name is Emmy. I am currently a student attending Pima Medical Institute. I love hiking, baking, cooking, reading, swimming, and especially a good movie night. I can speak a little bit of Spanish and Vietnamese as well. I have constantly taken care of those around me of friends, family, and furry little creatures! Not only am I great asset to each family as an extra helper, I also strive to create the best possible environment through enrichment activities and a positive attitude. Strong values I have as an individual is to be well rounded for myself and others. Being well rounded allows me to teach others as well as myself to have newfound perspectives, understandings, and respect for each other. I have limited experience from watching various families. However my personal experience with individual family members from elders, teenagers, toddlers, infants, and to animals are extensive. I am also able to drive, tutor, and clean as part of my due diligence. I am open to in person interviews, zoom, message, call, and email.

Incredible and caring.

I’m a Household Manager and caregiver with several years of experience supporting private families in the Bay Area. I help with childcare, schedules, errands, home organization, and daily routines, always bringing calm, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m naturally proactive, organized, and nurturing. Families describe me as someone they fully trust — dependable, discreet, and easy to be around. I truly enjoy creating a smooth, supportive environment where both parents and children feel cared for. I also have a background in administrative support and digital tools, which helps me stay organized and assist with a variety of household and personal tasks. I’m looking for a long-term position where I can grow with a family and be a positive, steady presence in their lives.

"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)."
