Booked by 1 family in Waltham, MA

I am a student at Tufts University, I have a 7 year old brother who I cared for since he was a baby. I speak fluent English and Mandarin, partially fluent in Spanish and know a little Russian. I worked in violin and viola musical tutoring for 2-4th graders in elementary school. I am very great at cooking dishes and meal prepping from different cultures (traditional american, Hispanic, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Indian). I also enjoy baking, my favorite is a lime Oreo cheesecake. I am also good at household chores and cleaning. In my free time I enjoy folding origami and would love to teach your child!

Thanks for coming by. Our kid had an amazing time!! 🖤🖤🖤

Currently looking for a part time/full time job to help save up for school. I cannot drive but am comfortable using public transportation.

She was clear in communication and engaged well with my 3-year old, meeting him at his interests and getting him off the couch and playing even though he was sick. She was a great sitter!

"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)."
