Liz $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I’m an attentive, trustworthy caregiver with extensive experience supporting children from the toddler/diaper stage up through age 8. Whether it’s keeping little ones safe and entertained, keeping up with routines, or engaging older kids in active, imaginative play, I focus on creating a supportive, positive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. What I bring to your family: Broad Experience: Patient, practical, hands-on care for every stage—from diaper changes, nap schedules, and toddler milestones to engaging early elementary-aged children. Language Integration: Native/fluent Spanish speaker! I'm happy to weave conversational Spanish into daily routines, storytime, games, and activities to help your child learn or practice naturally. Dependable & Patient: Calm under pressure, reliable, and naturally intuitive when it comes to keeping kids safe, engaged, and happy. I take pride in being a dependable support system for families. I look forward to connecting and learning how I can help support yours!

"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)."
