I pride myself in engaging the children that I care for in activities that will build up skills to reach developmental milestones. I am also known for my dance parties and Big Sister approach in my care! In my last position, I was caring for two 2-year-olds and worked with them on Self-expression and Socialization among other skills. Outside of work I’m an artist, a mutual aid provider and the eldest daughter to 7 siblings so, caregiving has been a lifelong practice of mine!

Hello... I am a mature lady with abundant energy and fun-loving disposition...I am a very experienced babysitter... Mother of six /Grandmother, too! I live in Santee but occasionally spend time in La Jolla or Laguna Niguel at my children’s homes and when I do I apply for work in those areas, as well as, when I am at home in Santee🙂 I loved spending many years helping my grown children by taking care of their little ones💗while they were working! Besides helping them out I experienced a great deal of happiness being with my grandchildren! Here in California I have two beautiful Grand-daughters that I love spending time with when their busy schedules permit! I am on call for babysitting on date night for my kids and the families I babysit for, also! I have movie night on some Fridays with my 10 year old and 13 year old Grand-sons! A little something about me: I'm from Maine, and have resided in some awesome cities, such as, Palm Beach, San Francisco, Los Angeles, where I've had the great pleasure of singing with the Agape choir, performing with talented artists like John Legend, and now currently living in San Diego! I am a published artist, love theater, and have especially loved watching my six kids grow into successful, creative, kind, individuals! I have plenty of available time for babysitting and babysitting for families who need child care is a continuation of doing what I love to do... So far most of the families I have done babysitting for have paid me in cash....which is my preference! Would that work for you? I am often paid by Venmo or Zelle and that is fine, as well🙂 I do have some availability in my schedule and would like to discuss the specifics of what you will be requiring to meet the needs of your family! Sad to say but because of the high cost of gas I’ve had to increase my rate from $18 to $20 & I have to require a 4 hour minimum☹️ I look forward to hearing from you! Have a great day! Carol🌷

Carol was excellent! Looking forward to having her again

I recently received a Masters degree in Public Health from Azusa Pacific University. I currently have a full time job as an Epidemiologist for our local public health department. Previously, I worked at the SDSU Children’s Center as a teacher's assistant in infant, transition and preschool classrooms. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and also know some baby sign language. I hold a clean driving record and I have a recent background check. I am CPR certified through the AHA. I cook healthy meals and I have worked with families with food sensitivities and allergies. I practice an RIE approach when working with infants and toddlers. I am all around driven, reliable, eager to learn and passionate about children's health and early childhood education. I hope I am a good match in your search for a babysitter/nanny. I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling, However, I require one-week advance notice but last minute bookings are possible and would be considered. Thank you for your consideration. Jori (Jo)

"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
