Hi! My name is Morgan, and I have a BA in Education and minor in Psychology. I’m currently in graduate school pursuing my Masters in School Counseling. I'm offering child care, pet care, and household services. I've babysat a variety of kids and I've loved every moment. My responsibilities as a caregiver have included school pick up/drop off, driving to extracurricular activities, making snacks/meals/bottles, engaging in developmentally appropriate activities, putting to sleep/naps, changing diapers, homework help, and basic crafts. I am musically inclined, a great game creator and player, and very patient. I am also super welcoming to families with fur babies! I have 7 of my own and they're the best to be around. I am also available to work for household services such as cooking, house sitting, or running errands. p.s. willing to negotiate pricing depending on age of children and other factors :)

My four kids loved her -- she is very loving, warm and creative. Any kid would be lucky to get a chance to hang out with Jackie! :)”

"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)."
