📅 Available Starting in November 2026 I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 8 years of childcare experience, caring for children from newborns to pre-teens. My expertise is in infant and toddler care, supporting children through important developmental milestones while creating a nurturing, engaging, and structured environment where children can thrive. For the past year, I have been caring full-time for the same child, starting when she was just 4 months old. During this time, I have been responsible for every aspect of her daily care and development, including sleep training, introducing solid foods, baby-led weaning, preparing homemade meals and snacks, transitioning from formula to whole milk, planning age-appropriate activities, and establishing healthy routines. My current family is relocating to New Jersey, so I am now looking for a new long-term full-time position starting in November 2026. I take a proactive and development-focused approach to childcare, creating activities that encourage language development, motor skills, independence, social interaction, creativity, and confidence. I believe every child deserves a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported.

"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)."
