Hi parents! I am a reliable, loving, and experienced childcare provider offering weekday care in my home here in Westerville. Childcare has always been a major part of my life; I grew up regularly babysitting for families, which eventually led me to work professionally in a daycare center environment. I have hands-on experience working at La Petite daycare, where I specialized in caring for toddlers, as well as experience working at another local daycare center. Because of this background, I fully understand toddler developmental milestones, safety routines, and how to structure a fun, engaging day. I am excited to provide a safe, cozy, and nurturing alternative to a crowded center right here from my home. I look forward to meeting your family!!

I closed my home daycare a few years ago after 30 years in business, but I missed taking care of littles! I currently have a nanny position with an awesome family from Dublin, but this position will end in early December. About me: I'm the mother of 10 adult kids and grandma to 10, so I have an extreme amount of experience. I'm not flustered by families with lots of kids! I'm a very calm Mom, and I don't panic in an emergency. Don't worry, I will take care of your children they same as I would my own - with love, concern, and kindness. I can care for newborns through preteens. I can help you with light housekeeping, laundry, meal prep, driving kids to their various activities, grocery pickup, organizing, etc... Please discuss your needs with me. I have a recent background check that I am happy to show you, as well as my driving record. I'm Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED Certified through the Red Cross. I have a lot of great references from my decades having a home daycare. I've never had a ticket or accident in my entire life. I've never even been pulled over, so I'm a very safe driver. I'm fully vaccinated with 4 boosters, RSV, Flu, Shingles and Pneumonia vaccines. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs. I accept cash, zelle and cashapp for payment. If you are looking for a modern grandma type, that is me! Looking forward to hearing from 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)."
