Welcome to my Bio; if there is anything that I can help you with, please reach out! I am available for short term, days, evenings, overnights, sick care and hotel/vacay traveling kiddos. I am also available for help with laundry, organizing, errands and various tasks to help out busy families! If time permits, I would be happy to come by for a pre meet. I have babysat & nannied in various locations in Brevard County Florida as well as Wake County, NC and Kern County, CA caring for children from 6 weeks to 12 years. I have also taught preschool and owned a licensed home daycare which was in business for 8 years when my own children were young. I encourage educational activities, indoor and outdoor play. I am not a fan of television and I would prefer to limit all other non educational screen time (unless otherwise advised). I am available to provide occasional school or activity transportation. I worked for HopSkipDrive providing school transportation when their services were available in Florida. I love outings and would love to help with your little one or take them on my own while you work or enjoy your vacation. I have a membership to the Brevard Zoo that includes children's admission I have annual passes to Universal Studios (Seasonal Pass) or Disney World (Pixie Pass) if you need a helping hand at the theme parks. Unfortunately, I am not available to accommodate a full-time/consistent nanny placement at this time. I look forward to hearing from you!

"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)."
