Ali $20 per hour for 1 child

I was born and raised in Hawaii, where I was blessed enough to help raise my younger brother and sister. My mom is a K-2 teacher, so I have also helped her at her school for a few years :) I moved to Eugene in 2022 to attend school at the University of Oregon in Environmental Sciences and am now a recent post-graduate living in Vancouver. I will be starting as a seasonal Outdoor Educator for MESD in a month and then going to Costa Rica for an internship as a research assistant for primates at Rescate Wildlife Rescue Center in November. I love the outdoors and the youth, but am also experienced with pets. I enjoy housework, yard work, moving projects, and any ways I can help.

"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)."
