Hi. My name is Jessica. I have over 30 years of child care experience. In my early 20s, I owned a family child care for 3 years, serving children between the ages of infant to school age. I have a variety of work experience as a center director, infant/toddler teacher, preschool teacher , school age teacher , sleep consultant and postpartum Dula.

Andie $33 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Andie! I am an experienced and passionate childcare worker born and raised in Marin! A little about me- I love learning about naturalism, health/nutrition, and social justice issues. Some of my favorite activities to do in my free time include hiking, photography, and art! As for my experience, I have worked in professional childcare settings (as well as pet care), including volunteering at a local preschool, babysitting, working with child theater camps, and most notably; working over 4 years at an afterschool program (children ages 4-10). Some of my responsibilities at this job involved supervising 50+ children at a time, preparing food, leading games/art activities, planning daily schedules, and most importantly- fostering an uplifting, empowering, and safe environment for all children involved! I absolutely love getting to see each child express their individual light. I have learned so much from them, and that’s why I am so passionate about what I do. I am CPR and AED certified and have taken many safety/behavioral trainings, such as the CalSAC ‘Understanding the Behavior of Youth Training’ and The Redwoods ‘Child Sexual Abuse Prevention’ Training. I am also currently working on receiving my Early Childhood Education credits. I drive, as well as offer household services such as cleaning/organizing, food prep, running errands, and pet care. I am looking for a full-time or part-time longterm position with a family. I have great references that I’m happy to provide upon request.

"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)."
