Hi, my name is Shaina. I began my career working with people with disabilities before transitioning into childcare fourteen years ago. Since then, I have worked as a camp counselor and an after-school teacher with the YMCA, as well as a substitute teacher with the San Francisco Unified School District. I currently specialize in early childhood development, helping infants and toddlers reach important developmental milestones through age-appropriate activities, attentive care, and nurturing support. I create engaging opportunities that encourage language development, fine and gross motor skills, cognitive growth, emotional regulation, and social development. By incorporating purposeful play, reading, music, sensory exploration, and consistent routines into each day, I help children build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning. My approach to childcare goes beyond meeting a child’s daily needs. I strive to raise children with strong emotional intelligence, helping them understand and manage their emotions, confidently verbalize their wants and needs, and develop the skills they need to succeed in school. I believe children thrive when they feel heard, supported, and empowered to express themselves. In addition to nannying, I love babysitting in my spare time because it allows me to continue expanding my childcare experience while connecting with children of all ages. I enjoy planning fun age-appropriate activities, playing games, making crafts, reading stories, and dancing. I absolutely love what I do and take every opportunity to advance my experience while giving attentive loving care to the children I work with. Over the years, I have completed extensive training in teaching, childcare, STEM, HEPA, CPR, CAP, and CPI. I am currently seeking part-time nannying and date-night opportunities. Someday, I hope to open my own daycare; for now, I am continuing to broaden my experience and make a positive difference in the lives of the children and families I work with.

"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)."
