Booked by 1 family in Hayward, CA

Hi my name is Jenny and I’m a freshman at San José State University. I offer reliable and loving child care, pet care, and household services. I’ve helped raise my 4-year-old niece since she was an infant and regularly care for my younger sibling. I love doing crafts, drawing, helping with homework, cooking simple meals, and making kids feel supported and safe. I’m great with younger children and have natural patience, energy, and positivity. I also assist my aunt with her house cleaning business, so I’m very comfortable with deep cleaning, organizing, running errands, and keeping a home in top shape. I love creating clean, calm spaces for families to enjoy. As a pet lover, I’ve cared for dogs and have a cat of my own, so I’m fully comfortable feeding, walking, playing, or transporting pets as needed whether they’re small, big, or extra fluffy! I’m dependable, hardworking, and always ready to help however I can. Whether it’s watching your kids, walking your dog, or helping around the house, I’m here to make your life easier.

Kwanita $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Kwanita! I have a healthcare background as a pharmacy technician and offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household help. My work experience has made me very responsible, attentive, and calm in environments where safety and trust are important. Kids tend to connect with me quickly because I’m warm, playful, and engaging. People often say I give “Miss Rachel” vibes because I bring a positive, encouraging energy that helps children feel comfortable while still maintaining structure and routines. I especially enjoy helping kids with homework, reading, crafts, and outdoor play. As someone who grew up neurodivergent, I have a lot of compassion for children who learn or process things differently and I’m very adaptable to different learning styles. I enjoy helping kids build organization techniques and simple routines that help them succeed in school. I also worked as a YMCA swim instructor during my junior year of high school, where I taught children water safety and swimming skills. That experience helped me develop patience, leadership, and the ability to keep kids engaged while prioritizing safety. I’m happy to help families with light household tasks such as meal prep, errands, laundry, and organizing. Through my healthcare experience, I’m also comfortable providing companionship and support for seniors. I enjoy helping families create calm routines and supportive environments where children and loved ones can thrive. I’m always happy to do a quick call beforehand so parents and children can feel comfortable before booking.

"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)."
