vanessa $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Vanessa. I recently completed my Early Childhood Education program and have experience working with both preschool and school-age children. I love creating a fun, safe, and caring environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Outside of work, I also help care for my three nephews, so being around children has always been a big part of my life. I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and have fun!

Jaybriel $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jaybriel 21 and Filipino! I’m a responsible, energetic, and caring person who enjoys helping others and creating a positive environment. Random fact, I am a Virgo, I’m naturally attentive, organized, patient, and detail oriented, which helps me create a safe and supportive space for the people I care for. Some of my hobbies include hiking, biking, and learning how to play the guitar. I’m also a huge family guy! I’m currently majoring in arts and film, which has helped me become very creative, expressive, and open minded. I enjoy bringing creativity into everyday activities, whether that’s through arts, music, storytelling, or fun activities. I’m very friendly, dependable, and easy to get along with. I enjoy building connections, making people feel comfortable, and being someone families can rely on. I’m also active and creative, so I enjoy keeping kids engaged through games, outdoor activities, arts, music, and helping with homework or daily routines. I have experience helping care for younger family members and assisting with household tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a clean and welcoming space. I’m also comfortable around pets and happy to help with pet care if needed. I’d describe myself as adaptable, hardworking, trustworthy, and someone who genuinely enjoys making a positive impact on others!

"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)."
