Sebabatso Portland
$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a patient, down-to-earth, and reliable individual who values punctuality and consistency. While I may be quiet at first, I am very attentive and caring once I get to know people. My childcare experience began at home helping care for my younger brother, who is now 8 years old. This early responsibility inspired me to pursue professional experience, and I volunteered at a daycare in my home country to deepen my understanding of child development. After that, I worked as an au pair in the United States for two years, where I gained hands-on experience supporting children and families in a structured environment. These experiences have strengthened my responsibility, adaptability, and genuine love for working with children. I am happy to tell you more about all that as soon as we connect!

"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."

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)."
