Jessica $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with a background in Early Childhood Education and a passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I’m currently studying to become a Speech-Language Pathologist, which has deepened my understanding of child development, communication, and supporting each child's unique needs. I have experience working in preschools, as a substitute teacher, and caring for children in a variety of childcare settings. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and children with special needs, and I love creating nurturing environments where every child feels safe, supported, and encouraged. I’m certified in Infant and Child CPR, and your child’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m experienced with infant care, diaper changes, bottle feeding, nap and bedtime routines, potty training, homework help, arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, meal prep, and maintaining consistent daily routines. Thanks to my background in education, I enjoy incorporating fun, age-appropriate learning activities into everyday play while following each family's parenting style and routines. Families describe me as reliable, calm, patient, and easy to communicate with. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents through consistency, kindness, and open communication. My goal is to help children feel confident, happy, and cared for while giving parents complete peace of mind. Whether you're looking for an occasional babysitter, after-school care, or a full-time or part-time nanny, I'd love the opportunity to support your family. I look forward to meeting you and providing the compassionate, dependable care your family deserves!

"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)."
