Hi my name is Nina. I am from Hood River and have a huge love for the outdoors. I grew up playing in the yard and in nature and I could spend all day outside. I just graduated college and am in school for nursing right now. I am very observant and have a great attention to detail. I am responsible and respectful and I am always eager to keep learning. I am also good with math and numbers so I am there to help with some homework if needed! I have babysat since I was 13 and I was a nanny all throughout high school and some way into college. I would take them to the beach, to the pool, to parks, drop them off at camp and cook and clean up around the house. I am also happy to run any errands. I am comfortable around animals and I love cats.

I’ve been caring for animals my entire life but have dedicated the past 10 years doing it full time. I am reliable, punctual and can handle anything that’s thrown at me. I have extensive knowledge of pet health and wellness in addition to CPR and first aid.

"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
