They are my best references;) I also ran a dog walking/cat care business in SF for 13 years. Comfortable with most pet care.

I’m committed to promoting a child’s physical, mental, and emotional development. ​I supply all the loving care/support (lots of hugs and snugs). Im patient and I maintain an easy going manner but offer children clear guidelines/boundaries that promote positive behavior patterns. I am a native Californian, everyone’s cheerleader, an organizer/cleaner/minimalist, am focused on a healthy lifestyle, do not use any type of social media, haven’t owned a tv my entire adult life, am a multi tasking beast, have a pro-active get it done moving forward mentality, creative problem solver, have a big heart, my mom sent me to etiquette school so my manners are on point, have a calm demeanor but goofy sense of humor and can handle being called poo poo all day by toddlers.

"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)."
