Joanna $35 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and compassionate individual with a strong background in healthcare and child development. I recently completed my nursing degree, where I gained extensive knowledge in patient care, safety, and clinical skills. My experience as a medical technician in a senior care facility allowed me to develop hands-on skills in assisting with daily living activities, monitoring health conditions, and providing empathetic support to elderly patients. Currently, I work as a behavioral therapist in a school setting, where I support children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, and Down syndrome. In this role, I help implement individualized behavior plans, promote social and communication skills, and create a safe, structured, and encouraging environment for each child. I am known for being patient, attentive, and reliable, with a genuine passion for helping others. My diverse experience across both pediatric and geriatric care allows me to adapt easily and provide high-quality, compassionate support to individuals of all ages.

"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)."
