I'm a full-time HR Professional looking to help with some child care needs in my free time outside of work. Babysitting is something I love to do because I enjoy working with kids, love creating activities, and working in fun, creative environment. I have over 8 years of babysitting/childcare experience, 2 years being a full-time nanny to a 5 year old and 10 year old before pursuing my professional career full-time.

20+ years of professional experience & ECE Degree. I am safe, loving and love to teach and help children explore. Some things of importance to me as a person/nanny are freedom, transparency, quality time, positivity and encouragement both things I give and like to receive. I am open minded and have been told my communication skills are sincerely appreciated. I enjoy making up new stimulating activities for children of all ages, and diving into their world with them! I take a customized approach based on how your child learns and likes/dislikes, I love being goofy 😜 . I don’t believe in ā€˜forcing’ anything and love to create a strong bond of mutual respect and trust . I practice positive discipline regardless of age or situation and don’t believe in hitting or yelling belittling/shaming and will ONLY raise my voice if it’s keeping your little one away from danger (fire,cars, sharp objects). I can cook, meal prep, run errands, laundry, I love cleaning but your child will ALWAYS be my number one priority! I’ve always been expected to tidy/clean whilst caring for little ones so I build that into my routine (often talking your child through it with me or having them help me with small tasks) I do have experience with special diets (soy free/gluten free/dairy free, vegan/vegatarian, halal) and allergies. First hand Epi pen experience. Experience with seizures ā™¾ļøšŸ§©Physical disability, Anxiety, extensive Autism & ADHD experience! Positivity, Safety, creating a bond of trust with you and your child(ren), singing & dancing! Genuinely engaging your child in stimulating activities such as art and music , creative play, walking in nature, reading and writing , celebrating your child’s wins no matter how big or small, and just letting kids be kids is what I’m all about. šŸ˜‰ *Cleaning & Organizing Aficionado* šŸŽØArts & Crafts Guru who will bring supplies for special projects. šŸŽ¤ I love singing and will often use music as a tool for daily activities that your child may struggle with. šŸš— Access to reliable vehicle Acura TL or Honda Accord (insured) 🧼 šŸ«¶šŸ¼ washing hands frequently 🩺 Infant CPR certification expired but will renew it upon request. * IF IM IN DOUBT ON WHAT YOUR WISHES WOULD BE IN ā€˜XYZ’ SITUATION I WILL CONTACT YOU IMMEDIATELY & if not available then use my best judgement. Fully vaxxed and boosted 2x.

"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."

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)."
