Hi, I'm Libby! I've spent 20+ years caring for kids, dogs, and seniors, and I treat everyone I look after like family. I lived with my sister's family during Covid to help raise my niece and nephews, and I'm very comfortable with kids of all ages. I have a psychology degree and I like to think I'm so I'm patient, fun, and good at figuring out what a kid needs. I'm also a dance instructor, and love to engage kids of all ages with music, games, and movement. I'm a total dog mom and have years of experience as a dog walker, caretaker, and boarder. I'm especially comfortable with special needs dogs and medical situations, including meds and extra monitoring. I also currently care for 3 dogs and their 94-year-old grandma, so I'm great with seniors too: patient, kind, and dependable. I'm reliable, communicative, and I'll always send updates and photos. I'm happy to do a meet and greet with anyone, and I require one for all dog boarding so everyone's comfortable

"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)."
