Hello! My name is Megan - I was born and raised in Torrance, CA. I am an online college student and I truly enjoy caring for children! I have 4 siblings (all older brothers) and my family owned a large preschool up until very recent so I grew up around a lot of kids! I have worked for several families taking care of kids from ages 6 months to 12 years old. I would describe my personality as caring, thoughtful and loving. I like working with kids because it really makes me happy to be a part of their growing up. I'm looking for a job that I can make a difference in a family knowing their child is being well taken care of I started working with kids when when I was about 14 years old babysitting and also helping in my mom's preschool. In my spare time, I like to go to the gym, go to the beach and visit with family and friends. One thing you should know about me is that I am a very loving person who truly enjoys life. I am very family oriented and enjoy every day to the fullest. My skills include being patient, fun and caring.

"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)."
