Hello dear families! I am dependable and dedicated babysitter that’s been babysitting since I was 14. I went on a few mission trips to orphanages and helped out with kids, I also was a dedicated helper at a Sunday school for years. Flexible and adaptable to any circumstance that babysitting will offer, please don’t hesitate to ask more questions. Oh, and I just love children, I think I got that from being the oldest that comes from a big friendly family! I am here to make your day just a little more relaxed and joyful.

I’ve taken several child development classes and worked as a summer camp counselor for kids ages 4–12. As the oldest sister, I’ve also had a lot of hands-on experience helping care for my younger siblings when they were toddlers. I previously worked as a DSP in a youth residential program as well. I was majoring in Art & Design at PSU and am currently taking a break from school. I love going on little adventures with the kids and have arts & crafts activities!

Booked by 1 family in Happy Valley, OR

Hello, I am born and raised here Portland! I have two younger sisters and began caretaking at an early age. I incorporate mindfulness into my caretaking and engage every child's unique development. My calm demeanor and goofy spirit allows children of all ages to feel comfortable and safe. I'm also an artist and painter, so I enjoy creating crafty activities for kids!

Sierra was great! She arrived early and was very good with the kids, playing with them, reading to them at bedtime and even staying with my son until he went to sleep. We will use her again and would recommend her. Thank you!

"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)."
