Hi! My name is Luz , and I recently moved to California from Florida. I’m a proud mom and grandmother, and caring for children has always been one of my greatest joys. With many years of hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and kids of all ages, I bring a warm, loving, and patient energy into every home I work in. Families describe me as thoughtful, caring, and very organized. I enjoy reading to little ones, keeping them entertained, and making sure they always feel safe and loved. I also keep a tidy, clean home environment and am happy to help with light household tasks. I’m flexible and have no problem staying overnight if needed. While I don’t speak English, I communicate well in Spanish and create a welcoming, nurturing environment for the children in my care. I’d be honored to support your family and treat your children with the same love and attention I give my own.

"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
