Jackie $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jackie, and I have over 8 years of experience working with children in both classroom and home settings. I’ve served as an Assistant Director and Director at Montessori and early childhood education programs, where I managed daily operations, supported families, and created safe, engaging environments for children ages 2-12. I recently decided to go back to school for Child Psychology and am looking for a family that I can help and grow with while in school. As a caregiver, I’m patient, dependable, organized, and genuinely love helping children learn and grow. I enjoy planning arts and crafts, outdoor activities, reading, sensory play, educational games, and age-appropriate adventures that keep kids engaged while having fun. In addition to childcare, I have experience with household organization, meal preparation, scheduling, school pickups/drop-offs, and family logistics. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children, working with children with varying needs, and helping busy families keep their routines running smoothly. I’m also a pet lover and comfortable caring for dogs and other household pets. Families can count on me to be professional, communicative, and nurturing while providing a safe and positive environment for their children. I look forward to connecting with families and becoming a trusted, reliable support for your household! 😊

"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)."
