Hello, my name is Jessica. I have over three years of experience caring foggr children of various ages. I am a patient, dependable, and nurturing person who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and feel supported in their daily lives. I have experience working with private families and in a school setting too, where I worked with children from TK through 6th grade. As a teaching assistant, I helped support children’s learning, encouraged positive behavior, and assisted with age-appropriate educational activities. These experiences have strengthened my ability to create a safe, structured, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable and encouraged to develop their skills. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate with and support families from different backgrounds. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, homework, creative activities, playtime, and daily routines for the kid . I have CPR and First Aid certified and always prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment.I look forward to building a meaningful connection with your family and helping your little ones learn, grow, and thrive.

"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."

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)."
