Hi! My name is Jenna and I'm available for child care! I've recently graduated from USC and am now attending UC Hastings! I have years of experience with children - as I used to nanny in Los Angeles while I was a student - with children anywhere from 1-15 years old as well as with multiple children. I enjoy outdoor activities (running, hiking, snow sports, etc) as well as arts and crafts and fun games! If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me.

Jenna was great, she jumped right in with my 7 and 3.5 year old. She updated me on how the evening was going once they went to bed. I would have Jenna babysit again and would recommend her!

Booked by 1 family in Cardiff By The Sea, CA

Bonjour, My name is Sylviane. I am a native of Switzerland and have been living in California now for the last 24 years. I have had the opportunity to be a stay at home mom while homeschooling my two children. My children are my best resume as they are kind, confident and considerate human beings. I am proud of them...as you can see :-) Here is a quick summary of my child care/education experience: French is my mother tongue and I have taught beginning and conversational French to students age 4-17, in small private group settings and in private tutoring. Also, for 4 years, I participated and taught in a neighborhood preschool with a group of 3-6 children. We mainly focused on values like creativity, kindness, cooperation, uniqueness and joy. In the last 3 years I have been a nanny for a family with a 9 month old and a 3 years old. That was the children's ages when I started. I can provide reference info. Feedbacks I have received describe me as a calm, loving, fun and creative person. I enjoy reinforcing children's interests through hands-on activities, reading and outdoor exploration. My approach focuses on nurturing and encouraging their natural curiosity and imagination, offering guidance when needed for problem solving, respectful communication and self regulation of emotions. Now that my children are grown and independent I am available and thrilled to offer my assistance and experience to your family. I look forward to meeting you and your child/ren. Please, feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need more information. Sylviane

Sylviane was an absolute delight - kind, thoughtful, experienced, organized, responsive, punctual. She went above and beyond to immediately connect with our four-year-old and make her feel at ease. We were visiting San Diego from out of town, and Sylviane brought a bag full of books and crafts that they could play with. As a mom who was anxious about our daughter staying with someone new in a new city, Sylviane put us completely at ease. I cannot recommend her highly enough - I only wish she lived in Dallas!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
