I am a dedicated and experienced mother of two children—a 16-year-old daughter and an 11-year-old son. Over the past 16 years, I have developed strong parenting and organizational skills through hands-on experience raising children through various developmental stages. My background includes managing household responsibilities, supporting my children's academic and emotional growth, and maintaining a structured yet nurturing environment. I have gained in-depth understanding of child development, adolescent behavior, and educational needs through active involvement in their schooling, extracurricular activities, and healthcare. I am highly adaptable, patient, and proactive, with strong communication skills that help me advocate for my children and build positive relationships with teachers, coaches, and healthcare providers.

I'd describe my personality as Energetic, Passionate, Methodical I like working with kids because, I'm a very patient, kind and supportive person. Kids need kindness, patience and supportive structures and that's why I love working with them so much. I also come from a very big family and I'm the 1st grandchild of 19 grandkids so I've always been around kids of all ages. Kids always bring out the child in me and I'm always very sane and energetic around them. I started working with kids when I was 21, I have a degree in Teaching(Studied at the University Of South Africa) I have volunteered at kindergartens as well as hospitals and I was an Aupair for 2 years in the United States! In my spare time, I like to read, watch documentaries, go out for walks, rock climbing, playing hockey, swimming and hanging out with my loved ones. One thing you should know about me is I'm very outgoing, outspoken and funny, especially around kids! My skills include Patience, Creativity, Safety.

"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."

"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)."
