I’m am certified EMT by College of Marin and all ages CPR certified by AHA (American Heat Association).

Jessica was fantastic! Our 2.5 year old warmed to her immediately, and didn't even notice when we left, he was so engrossed with Jessica. She updated us via text after he went to bed, and the house was meaningfully cleaner than we left it when we got home. She is really great.

Hi families! I’m an experienced nanny from Brazil. I’ve been working with children in the U.S. since 2022. I spent 2 years as an au pair and have since worked with several families, caring for kids of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I’m currently looking for occasional babysitting opportunities and date nights. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, meal prep, playtime, homework help, and planning fun, age-appropriate activities. If you think we might be a good fit, I’d be happy to connect!

"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)."
