Warm greetings, my name is Karen! I am 30years old. Born and raised NYC nanny, currently located in Detroit, who loves to zip around on my scooter with the kids. I have a degree in fine arts painting from Pratt Institute and attended LaGuardia Arts high school for singing. I am a good teacher of these subjects. My singing voice will soothe your child to sleep. I am a good cook and do light housework. My meals are inspired by a variety of cultures. My fiancé is a therapist in private practice and I myself plan to go to grad school in the next few years to further my skills in child development. I have experience with children ages 2-16 but am very open to younger infants. I have experience with children who have a wide range of disabilities/different abilities. I am good at letting children tell me about their different interests and nurturing these skills/good sense of self. Currently helping my fiancé train his service dog in weekly private lessons so I am great with the pups too. Long history of dog walking. Book me for an interview today, we may be a good fit!

"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)."
