Hello I’m Lina a caring, patient, and trustworthy caregiver who loves working with both children and pets.

I always create a safe, loving, and calm atmosphere where kids can learn and feel supported, and where pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well-cared for.

I had the pleasure of working with a family for over seven years, caring for their children throughout many important stages of their lives. When I first began, I cared for their 3-year-old, their 9-year-old, and later helped care for their newborn. During my time with the family, I provided dependable and compassionate care, including overnight and live-in support whenever needed while the parents traveled out of town for work meetings in Sacramento. I always treated the children with patience, love, and responsibility, and I became someone the family could truly rely on. Although it was difficult to leave, I relocated and I am very grateful for the support and encouragement the family gave me throughout that decision. This is the reason behind my ongoing journey with being a nanny. Warm, dependable, and attentive nanny with hands-on experience caring for children of various ages. Known for creating a safe, structured, and loving environment where children feel comfortable and supported.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
