Hi, I’m Isa! As the eldest of six, caregiving has been second nature to me since I was a kid. I started helping raise my younger siblings when I was just 8 years old, and by high school, I was tutoring and babysitting part-time to earn money—work that quickly became a passion. I later earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from UC Berkeley, and during grad school, I joined a trusted nanny group to support myself while studying. That’s when I realized how deeply I love supporting families and connecting with kids of all ages. With over 15 years of hands-on experience—from newborns to teens—and a strong academic background in child development, neuroscience, and psychology, I bring a unique mix of heart and insight to every family I work with. I’m especially passionate about helping children thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. As a tutor, I’ve helped C-level students grow into Read more confident A-level learners, and I tailor my approach to fit each child’s personality and learning style. Now that I work remotely full-time, I love using my flexible schedule to provide as-needed, occasional, or part-time babysitting. Whether it’s supporting with routines, imaginative play, school help, or just being a calming, consistent presence—I’m here to make your life easier and your child’s day brighter. If you're looking for a reliable, kind, and experienced sitter who genuinely loves kids—I’d love to connect!

My daughter is on the spectrum, and Isa was incredibly patient, attentive, and nurturing from the very beginning. She engaged her with fun, pre-planned activities tailored to her developmental needs, and it was clear that Isa’s background in child development really made a difference. She even took the time to teach my daughter how to signal for certain needs, which was such a thoughtful and helpful touch. Isa is not only smart and intuitive, but also incredibly kind and calm—exactly what you'd want in someone caring for your child. I’m so thankful for her support—it gave me the peace of mind I needed to focus on my work, knowing my daughter was in great hands.
