I am a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with a strong background in supporting children, seniors, and households. My experience has given me the ability to adapt to a variety of needs while creating a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. Families describe me as reliable, attentive, and genuinely invested in the well-being of those I care for. When working with children, I bring energy, creativity, and patience to every interaction. I enjoy helping with homework, organizing engaging activities, encouraging healthy routines, and fostering curiosity through play and learning. I value structure and consistency while also being flexible and fun. In adult and senior care, I provide both practical and emotional support. This includes companionship, assistance with daily routines, mobility support, light meal preparation, and ensuring comfort and dignity. I am attentive to details and skilled at creating calm, supportive environments that help individuals feel respected and cared for. I am also comfortable caring for pets and maintaining household organization. Whether it’s helping with errands, tidying up, preparing meals, or keeping schedules organized, I approach each task with responsibility and a positive attitude. Above all, I am dedicated to treating each child, adult, and pet with kindness, respect, and understanding. Caregiving is more than a responsibility for me; it’s a passion and an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

I was raised with significant caregiving responsibilities from a young age, which shaped my patience, resilience, and sense of responsibility. I naturally stepped into a caregiver role for my younger siblings, supporting their daily routines, school needs, and emotional well-being during a challenging family period. These experiences taught me empathy, structure, and how to remain calm and reliable in any situation. As a caregiver, I bring strong organization, warmth, and attentiveness. I enjoy creating a safe, positive, and structured environment where children feel supported and encouraged. I am dependable, adaptable, and genuinely committed to helping children thrive while supporting families in their daily routines.

Hello! I’m currently a graduate student at Merrimack College and I also work full time at RTX. I’m located in Malden, MA Outside of my education and work, I love to be in nature and spend a lot of my time at the beach with friends and family. I love kids and believe I have a great, sociable personality that allows me to understand kids with ease. I have babysat for multiple age groups since the age of 16, and I started in 2015! I have worked in both a summer program and day care, and I have been a personal babysitter for a lovely family in Massachusetts with two 4 year old twins and a 7 year old at the time. I can reference this family for anyone who would like to connect with them! More recently, my best friend had a beautiful baby boy who just turned 4 months and I’ve had the pleasure of being trusted to take care of him. He is truly such a sweet baby, and I believe kids always have the ability to teach me something new. Recently, I have began to help watch my boyfriend’s niece (16 months) and nephew (5yo). I am also an animal lover. I really love dogs and cats and I plan to get one soon. Please feel free to reach out to me about anything at all, and I look forward to servicing you! :)

"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)."
