Hi there! I’m I have experience nannying kids from toddler age to early teens. Last year I nannied before school and had a crew of kids for private after school care. I also have experience nannying for kiddos with special needs. I originally from Northern California and grew up spending a lot of time outside in the woods using my imagination and making fairyyyhy houses. I love animals and spending time outdoors, especially with kids because I love their curiosity! I also enjoy crafts and love starting art projects! I’ve always loved kids and felt really inspired by them. I think people can be their best and most creative self around kids because their minds are so active and curious it encourages you yourself to be! I have a peer support certification and trauma informed care certification in the state of Oregon from the board of Traditional Health Workers. This has helped educate me on deescalation and playing a supportive role for anyone and everyone! I grew up with a special needs brother and parents who worked so I spent a lot of time caring for him growing up. I believe this taught me executional skills of patience and gave me unique skills in communicating with children who can’t always communicate how they are expected to. Looking forward to the possibility of hearing from you!

With 5+ years of dedicated experience caring for children from newborns to pre-teens, I bring joyful engagement and reliable support to your family-not just supervision. My background includes full time/part-time nannying for infants, after-school care for school-aged kids, and overnight care for toddlers and children. Through these roles, I’ve mastered everything from daily routines and developmental play to handling big emotions with calm creativity. I’m also CPR/First Aid certified (renewed November 2023) and trained in Safe Sleep Practices, Early Childhood Nutrition, and more because your child’s safety is my top priority. My approach blends structure with warmth: I believe in clear boundaries, empathetic communication, and nurturing independence through play. You’ll find me designing sensory activities for infants, helping with homework through patient encouragement, or guiding sibling dynamics with fairness. For me, emotional safety matters just as much as physical care-which is why parents describe me as dependable, intuitive, and genuinely enthusiastic. I notice when a child needs comfort, a creative outlet, or quiet space to recharge. Beyond the basics, I love nurturing growth through: 🎨 Creative Enrichment: Tailored arts & crafts, music time, storytelling, and simple STEM experiments. 🌳 Active Play: Park adventures, dance parties, and sports to keep kids engaged and energized. 📚 Learning Support: Homework help, literacy games, and curiosity-driven Q&A sessions. 🏡 Household Partnership: Allergy-aware meal prep, light tidying, and seamless routine management. What truly fuels me? Building trusting relationships-with your children and you. I’ll share thoughtful updates about your child’s day, and I’m always proactive about their evolving needs. Let’s connect so I can help your family thrive!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
