Hi! My name is Fernanda, and I have over 4 years of experience caring for children. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel safe in a loving environment. I have experience caring for infants and toddlers, creating daily routines, preparing healthy meals and snacks, reading books, singing songs, planning age-appropriate activities, going on walks, visiting parks and libraries, and supporting developmental milestones. I am a patient, responsible, and reliable nanny who values open communication with parents. I also enjoy helping with children’s laundry, organizing play areas, meal preparation, and light housekeeping related to the children. Originally from Colombia, I previously worked in a children’s hospital, which strengthened my passion for caring for others. I am currently living in California and would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your family’s life.

"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)."
