Booked by 1 family in Happy Valley, OR

Hello! My name is Allegra. I am a certified Reiki Practitioner and Voice Teacher. I am told I am warm, friendly, positive and a good friend. I love laughing and smiling as my name suggests and am known to sing and play music to those I serve as relief and joy-making. I love little ones and have cared for my nieces and nephews and friends kids for quite some time. I am good at coming up with crafts, outdoor walks and play time and happy to help parents where I can. I have experience early on in my career working as a full-time live-in aid for a woman with severe Autism and disability advocacy and working with those with disabilities are near and dear to my heart. I love working with older folks whether they need help as a companion for groceries or health care, or if they just want a friendly person to play a game with or watch a show with. I have recently served as a caregiver for my father for the last several months and cared for him in hospice through his passing this fall. I have a gift for working with those and the families of those who are severely ill, who have gone through major loss or transition or perhaps are at the end of life themselves. As a practitioner I am attune to caring for those in pain, those with anxiety & depression, ptsd & complex mental states. I am trained in healing touch and use sound and music as therapy. I am told I am a very soothing, calming, grounded practitioner and that people feel very safe with me. If these words in my profile resonate with you, I'd love to talk to you further about what your needs are at this time and how my skills and background my best serve you! Must note: I am a huge animal and plant person of all kinds :)

Booked by 1 family in Happy Valley, OR

Hello! I am a warm, nurturing, mindful mother of two who stayed home with my children during their upbringing. Now that they've grown, I'm hoping to find opportunities to help other families look after their children and become a trusted source of support. I offer a calm and patient presence that fosters comfort and ease, which I consider to be a vital basis for growth and development.

"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)."
