Caring for children has been part of my life since I was young, and it's grown into both a passion and a profession. I bring both an academic foundation — a Bachelor's degree in Human Services from Utah State University, with coursework in Communicative Disorders and Psychology — and 7+ years of hands-on experience to everything I do, giving me a real understanding of how children develop, communicate, and grow at every stage, from infancy through age 13. My time as a Behavioral Technician, supporting children with autism, taught me patience, consistency, and how to truly meet a child where they are. Day to day, I provide attentive, nurturing care: infant routines, meal and snack prep, homework help, school pick-ups and drop-offs, age-appropriate activities, and light housekeeping. I'm CPR/First-Aid/AED certified, have a valid driver's license and reliable vehicle, and I'm looking for a long-term, full-time position through payroll where I can bring both my heart and my training to a family who wants a consistent, trusted caregiver. 🥰 Resume & References available upon request

She goes above and beyond to help me keep the house in order, whether that’s cleaning or helping the kids eat their dinner. Her communication is always open and receptive with our needs and her own. We are beyond blessed to have found someone so genuine and professional!”

"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)."
