I am a former preschool teacher, currently turned nanny, with 20 years of experience working with children. I am a fun, loving person and offer more than the typical babysitter as I focus on supporting the overall development of children I work with. My experience ranges from birth to adulthod, including children with special needs, as I hold a certificate of specialization in special needs education and have several years of experience working with diverse abilities. I have two children of my own; a 23 year old son and a 27 year old daughter who graduated from Stanford. I am a native Spanish speaker, CPR certified, and a registered sitter with Trustline for added peace of mind of families. Note: if your child is sick or anyone in your household, please let me know, so we can discuss the risk. I don’t offer cleaning or cooking services.

Hi my name is Debb!! and I am 28 years old with a true passion for caregiving and supporting families. I find it deeply rewarding to be a helping hand to those who need it most, and I view every opportunity as a way to put my skills, compassion, and dedication into practice.

I take pride in being dependable, attentive, and cautious in following caregiver protocols, while also being quick to learn new procedures. Flexibility is one of my strengths, and I am available to step in as needed and adapt to changing schedules. In addition to my healthcare background, I also have experience as a babysitter and youth mentor!. I’ve worked with children in church worship groups, served as a chaperone on field trips, and created safe, nurturing environments where children feel supported and engaged. I am patient, loving, and a great listener, always striving to meet both the needs of parents and children. With my combined experience as a caregiver, Cna , and babysitter, I believe I would be an excellent fit for your family’s needs. My mission is not only to provide quality care but also to be a trusted friend who ensures your loved ones feel safe, supported, and cared for at all times. I also love animals! And have cats and dogs of my own so I know how important they are to the family. I can also help out with pet needs as well I also have my own car and can drive your kids to anywhere they need to be taken.

"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)."
