I’m a Substitute Teacher for OUSD. I’m thoughtful, organized and caring. I like to engage children in educational activities instead of watching TV. Coloring, playing, baking cookies and reading are typically the preferred activities. I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I'm well qualified to help with homework, reading, potty training and taking a child to the doctor. I’m available Monday-Friday + weekends too. My calendar is up to date. Please feel free to contact me. References are available upon request. Thank you. I look forward to meeting you!

Hello! My name is Karina, and I have over 6 years of professional childcare experience caring for children from infancy through 14 years old. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged children, and children with special needs. I’m experienced with diaper changes, bottle feeding, potty training, meal and snack preparation, nap and bedtime routines, homework assistance, transportation, developmental play, outdoor adventures, and creating age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. In addition to childcare, I have experience as a Family Assistant, helping with children’s laundry, light housekeeping, organizing play areas, meal preparation, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. I currently work as a full-time nanny Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–4:30 PM and am looking to add part-time, evening, weekend, date-night, overnight, and occasional babysitting opportunities. Families describe me as dependable, patient, organized, and warm. I value open communication and strive to become someone parents can truly rely on. I’m CPR & First Aid certified and can provide my resume, professional references, background check, driver’s license, proof of insurance, and additional documentation upon request. I look forward to meeting your family! Warmest Regards , Karina Bumatay

"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)."
