Booked by 1 family in Plainfield, IL

I have extensive experience in childcare, senior care, dog and cat care, and household support. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have worked hands-on with preschoolers and school-age children through school programs, as well as volunteering at a daycare. I’ve cared for kids of all ages, from infants to teens, and I’m comfortable with routines, homework help, and creating fun, age-appropriate activities. I started working with seniors at 16 in senior living facilities and as an in-home caregiver, providing companionship, mobility support, daily routine assistance, and safe supervision. I also began caring for dogs and cats at 14, helping with feeding, walking, and basic supervision. In addition, I’ve supported families by keeping their homes clean, organized, and running smoothly through tidying, laundry, errands, and light household tasks. I’m outgoing, patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people, which helps me provide compassionate and dependable care in every setting

"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)."
