Hello! I'm truly passionate about working with children and helping them grow in a safe, caring, and fun environment. I currently work as a Teacher Assistant at Chicago Public Schools, where I support first-grade students (ages 6-7) with daily classroom activities, as well as help build their reading, writing, and communication skills. I hold a Bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago. I'm fluent in both English and Spanish. I am also a graduate student and working towards my Masters degree in Early Childhood Education. I love being outdoors, encouraging kids to explore, ask questions, and learn through play and discovery. Whether it's helping with homework, planning creative activities, or simply being a positive role model. I'd love the opportunity to bring my experience, patience, and energy to your family!

"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
