Jessica San Carlos
$35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jessica, I'm 24 years old, and I'm currently earning my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, specializing in LMFT/LPCC to become a therapist. I have classes in the evenings, so I'm available during early mornings and afternoons. I've been babysitting since I was 13 and have worked as a full-time nanny for four children, so caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I bring an empathetic, patient, and nurturing approach to everything I do. I live a very active, healthy lifestyle - I love working out, going on walks or hikes, cooking, and spending time outdoors. I'm dependable, always on time (usually early!), and bring a positive, outgoing energy to any environment. I truly love helping others and creating a fun, safe, and supportive atmosphere wherever I go.

Isabella San Mateo
$35 per hour for 1 child

Caring for children has been a part of my life for over 10 years, and it's something I truly love. I have extensive experience with kids of all ages, from newborns to pre-teens, and I spent two years in the U. S. being as an au pair, where I cared for infants and toddlers full-time. I'm trained in CPR and First Aid and always prioritize safety, emotional well-being, and age-appropriate learning. I'm known for being warm, reliable, and detail-oriented. I feel confident creating structured routines, setting clear boundaries, and following each family's parenting style. I enjoy planning engaging activities such as sensory play, outdoor time, and educational games that support developmental milestones. I also keep parents updated with clear daily reports and open communication. Whether you're looking for someone to lovingly care for your baby or support your child's growth, I'm here to help bring peace of mind to your family.

"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)."
