Hi! My name is Gabriella and I have previous experience looking after groups of children, as well as pet care. Previously, I have looked after groups of 5 or more children in summer camp settings, as well as previously serving as a virtual tutor for young children. I am a dog lover and I also have been trusted to look after friends pets! I love to read, play mahjong with friends and learn new languages! I look forward to connecting with you.

Gabriella was early to our trial day and immediately connected with my children. She was extremely professional and thoughtful as she got comfortable with our kids and parenting style. Her communication was excellent throughout our engagement. My kids were sad when she had to leave. I look forward to having Gabriella babysit in the future!

"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)."
