As a nurturing and experienced childcare provider with 14 years of experience, I'm passionate about fostering children's growth and development. My friendly and patient demeanor creates a safe and nurturing environment where children thrive. I believe in open communication with parents and follow their preferred method to discuss their child's day or any concerns. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing a variety of games with children, from educational games that promote learning to outdoor sports and board games. With my teaching certification, ECE training, and early child development coursework, I'm equipped to provide a well-rounded and stimulating experience for your child. Additionally, I'm available to assist with cooking, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. Your child's happiness and safety are my top priorities.

"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)."
