I currently live in north county Del Mar . Looking for full time / part time work / occasional sitting. Started my childcare career in 2016 at a barre studio called Daily Method that provided daycare while the moms would workout. I am very responsible and have a lot of experience and patience with kids and will also show them a lot of love and give them my full undivided attention. My favorite thing about babysitting is how unfiltered and carefree children can be 😂. I know how important children are and I can be trusted with their safety. I’m also a very clean person aswell and like to keep the common areas tidy and clean as we go. I’ve worked for a ton of families over the past several years and can provide more references if needed when it comes to transferring and driving children in my car or just overall experience with me sitting or nannying. I’ve done overnights, can stay past midnight, and i’m very flexible towards everyone’s schedule! Additional services I can provide are animal care, transportation, light house-work (cleaning up anything related to the children such as toys food plates ect.). I’m also open to doing laundry, dishes, and taking out the trash for an additional charge. Some other add on services could be restocking any groceries, household items, or supplies needed for the home, and general organizing.

Timely, great job with the kids, wore them out and cleaned around the house. Amazing sitter and would have again in a heartbeat!

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!

Nancy $25 per hour for 1 child

I have been babysitting since I was 13 and Since the age of 19 have been nannying. I have experience as a live in nanny, travel nanny, day nanny and overnight feeding nanny. I have a lot of experience with twins. I also have been an after school sitter, driving kids to tutor, music classes, sports etc.. I love kids and how they are so curious and innocent so eager to learn and explore the world. I am very much into reading and asking them questions to find out what their thoughts and opinions are and trying to assure them that there ideas and imagination is important. Reference letters can be sent to 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."

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)."
