Hello! My name is Gabriela and I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages. I love bringing creativity, warmth, and structure into the lives of the families I work with. I have cared for children ranging from infants to school-aged kids, and I am confident handling daily routines, meal prep, diaper changes, nap schedules, outdoor play, reading time, educational activities, and light housekeeping. I am also experienced in managing high-energy children and supporting their emotional development with patience and positive discipline. In addition to childcare, I have cared for pets and provided assistance with light cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I’m known for being responsible, trustworthy, and cheerful. Families often tell me they feel at ease knowing their children are safe and happy in my care. I take pride in being proactive, attentive, and dependable. I truly enjoy supporting families and building a positive connection with the kids I look after. Whether you need help with occasional babysitting, full-time care, or support during busy workweeks, I’m here to help! I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family and become a trusted caregiver in your home.

Gabriela was great with all 4 of my kids. She’s very attentive and naturally caring. She ensured to ask me questions about them to know them better and they truly did like her very much. I will definitely book again.

"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)."
