Jenifer $20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Carlsbad, CA

Hello I’m Jenifer, I’m 30 years old. I first started babysitting when I was about 13 years old, watching my father’s friends kids. I realized I loved interacting with them I decided to volunteer in my church nursery. Being a sibling of 11, I love to see the joy on the children's faces when you play with them or just give them any sort of positive attention. A little something about myself, I am currently a caregiver and have been for the past 5 years for my nana. She is my absolute world and I am beyond grateful to be able to care for her. A little something else about myself, I love doing things outdoors such as hiking, swimming and exploring new things . I also really enjoy being at home crocheting, coloring doing puzzles or just watching a movie with my siblings. I also have many years as a caregiver. I have been caring for my nana going through cancer treatment, I’ve worked in a memory care facility as well as worked for a family as a caregiver, assisting with 24/7 care with ADL’s, feeding, bathroom needs, house keeping. I genuinely love caring for people.

I began babysitting at 13 and have consistently worked with families over the years, caring for children from infancy through age 16. My experience includes caring for up to four children at a time, managing sibling dynamics, supervising conference and event childcare, and providing overnight nanny care while parents traveled. My faith is a central part of who I am and serves as my compass in how I care for others. It shapes my integrity, patience, and sense of responsibility, and guides me to treat every child with kindness, attentiveness, and respect. I believe children thrive in environments where they feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for, and I strive to create that atmosphere in every home I serve.

"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)."
