Responsible and caring babysitter with experience in child care. I have a background as a nurse and doctor, giving me a strong understanding of children’s health and needs. Skilled in first aid, attentive to safety, and committed to creating a comfortable and engaging environment for kids.

Hello, I am currently available on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Hope something works out! :) I have experience working with little ones, adolescents, and adults with special needs in various settings. I've worked taking care of kids for years. I love kids; they're all unique and fun. I prefer to work with older children versus infants. If needed, I would send updates to the parents about how the day is going with pictures. Although it is more than worth my time and energy to care for your little one, it is important that I am compensated for the time originally agreed upon, even if you arrive earlier. I do require a 24-hour cancellation notice. I reserved that special time just for you. I am bilingual and have been told that people are very receptive to me. Look forward to meeting you and your family. Thank You! :)) (updated 07/2026)

Have been taking care of my shiba inu since 3 months old who has now gotten up to 15 years and still going! Trusted dog & cat sitter for several people at this point and recurring for many because I take the job seriously

Highly professional, reliable, and was able to assist during a last minute pet sitting booking! Would also recommend hiring for tutoring as they also offer that service

I have over 5 years of experience caring for children (mostly from 0 to 4 years old, including infants from 0 to 11 months), as well as helping older adults and taking care of pets. I truly enjoy creating a warm and safe environment for little ones — I’m calm, kind, and very patient. I’ve also spent several years helping seniors with everyday needs. I used to drive them to doctor’s appointments, help with grocery shopping, run errands, and spend quality time with them. I always try to make sure they feel supported, respected, and not alone. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and I have experience feeding them, walking dogs, and helping keep the home clean and peaceful. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and I’m reliable, organized, and caring. My English is basic but clear — families find me easy to work with, and I always give my best.

I am a caring, patient, and responsible caregiver who truly enjoys supporting families. I work especially well with children and dogs, and I always focus on creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment. I enjoy engaging kids in fun and meaningful activities, helping with routines, and being someone they feel comfortable with. I am also great with pets, especially dogs, and can help with walking, feeding, and playtime while making sure they are safe and happy. In addition, I am respectful and patient with seniors and happy to provide companionship and help with light daily tasks. Families can rely on me to be dependable, trustworthy, and attentive to everyone’s needs. I am currently studying Biochemical Engineering and am back in the U.S. for winter break, and I am committed to providing reliable, helpful, and caring support during this time.

"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)."
