I am originally from Sandwich, New Hampshire. I have 15 years of education and babysitting/nannying experience, interacting with children and adults from various academic, socio- economic, cultural, disability, and ethnic backgrounds. I also have 4 years of housekeeping/personal assistant experience. I love the outdoors, reading, creative pursuits, and baking. I am always very excited to share these passions with families. I am also CPR certified because safety is of the utmost importance to me when it comes to working with children. I like to stay active by hiking, biking, and going for walks. I am highly organized, efficient, and great at creative problem solving. I look forward to working with your family!

I have babysat and been a nanny all throughout my life. I started with a family since their youngest was 1 years old and was part of their 2nd child too. I stayed with this family for 10 years. I love children and their curiosity!

Incredibly timely, professional, and does a wonderful job with our kids. And our kids thinks Blanca is so much fun.

"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)."
