I'm an extremely kind, compassionate, patient and caring person who's heart is rooted in serving others. I have extensive experience in child and elder care. I have 3 adult children of my own and was a PTO president for 6 years. I also was a caregiver at Sunrise Senior living on the memory care floor. I took care of my grandparents and parents. I moved in to care for my father who had Parkinson's disease in the last years of his life. He was bedridden for last 8 months of his life and myself and oldest daughter were his only caregivers. I've worked with adults with disabilities too. I have had animals all of my life and am able to walk small to medium sized dogs. I currently have 2 cats but have also had dogs, guinea pigs, hedgehogs and sugar gliders. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones!

Hi, My name is Sandrita but you can also call me Sandy! I work with kids/students of all ages to create a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for.

I’ve also worked with elementary aged kids and also have led high school student groups and summer camps, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of ages.

"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."

"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)."
