Hi, I’m Laura! I’m a professional nanny with nearly 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I’m CPR certified and committed to providing safe, nurturing, and engaging care where children feel supported, confident, and encouraged to learn and grow. Throughout my career, I’ve supported families through many stages of childhood, with extensive experience caring for newborns and infants. I’m comfortable establishing and maintaining routines, supporting developmental milestones, tummy time, developmental play, naps and sleep routines, introducing age-appropriate activities, and implementing therapeutic exercises under professional guidance. I also have experience caring for multiple children at the same time. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and communicative, and I truly value building trusting, long-term relationships with both children and parents. I have strong references from families I’ve worked with over the years, including long-term relationships that have continued beyond my time working with their children. I enjoy keeping children active and engaged through walks, parks, classes, library visits, and other age-appropriate outings and activities. I speak both English and Spanish and enjoy creating a warm, organized, and positive environment where children can thrive. 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."

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)."
