Nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's a genuine passion. My previous babysitting experiences solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives, and I bring a year of experience caring for children aged 0-3 and 1-11. I am patient, calm, and friendly, and I follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games with children. I always prioritize clear communication with you, following your preferred method, whether it's a quick chat at pickup or regular updates via text. I am CPR and First Aid certified and I am comfortable with pets. I am happy to care for up to two children. I believe in creating a safe and fun environment where your little ones can thrive, and I look forward to the opportunity to get to know your family!

"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)."
