Hi! My name is Thaina, and I am currently entering my last semester at California Polytechnic State University, where I am studying Architecture. I am seeking a weekly and occasional babysitting job for the upcoming year. I have over ten years of experience working with children, beginning by caring for my younger siblings. I later expanded my experience by tutoring at weekend schools and college. Most recently, I have focused on babysitting elementary and middle school-aged children. Being the oldest sibling, I have always been surrounded by kids and genuinely love their sweet innocence and fun energy. I am naturally energetic and committed to ensuring your children have a memorable and enjoyable experience! If the weather is nice, I would love to take the kids to the park or participate in outdoor activities. If we need to stay indoors, I can bring out my arts and crafts supplies to create fun projects together. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading, and painting. I look forward to the opportunity of working with your family!

“Very kind, on time, great with kids!”

"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)."
