“We love working with Asanda! So calm and gentle with our 1 year old, especially considering he was feeling a little under the weather. Asanda has an approach that’s very accommodating and understanding of our family needs. She gave me the confidence and peace of mind needed when babysitting our son. I’m hoping we can connect with Asanda more routinely if the opportunity presents itself. ”

Hello! Thank you for taking some time to read my profile. My name is Jenessa and I love working with children and people of all ages I am an older sister of two twin brothers and cat mom. A little bit more about me - I am currently work at an elementary school in a T-K class. I have obtained my Bachelors in Early Childhood and Early intervention and music. I am BLS & CPR, CNA as well as RBT certified. A previous role I held was 2 years at HealthPro Pediatrics using behavioral therapy with children with various disorders including autism. In addition, I have loved being a Professional nanny since 2016. This has included working with multiple children newborn-14 with various needs and diagnoses, driving/pickups, bed time routines, meal prep, and other house managing jobs - including your furry friends! A reoccurring family I babysit for has a 8mth, 3, and 5 yr boys. One of my most rewarding positions was at a teen parent program for first time high school moms and their newborns. I have worked long term with quite a few families, have been a preschool teacher, have had many babysitting jobs, been a leader for preschoolers in camps, and have volunteered with special needs kids-adults (briefly with a special needs inclusive theater) to name a few! I am patient, hard-working, flexible, outgoing, trustworthy, and have great references. My hobbies are music, piano, going to the beach, and yoga! In my free time I really enjoy volunteering weekly at the Ronald McDonald House. I love bringing art projects and science projects for the kids I nanny for and I have a lot of different supplies, curriculum - I have picked up over the past few years. I have a clean driving record and I am comfortable picking up from school/taking your children to places like museums or the zoo. Most importantly I care about your child/rens safety, well-being, and happiness. I have loved helping children reach their developmental milestones and being a support system for kiddos who have needed it. The children and families I have worked for long term have become family to me! And I hope to become a new friend to you. My rates vary based on location, number of children, and job duties If this interests you at all feel free to send over a message! I am looking forward to learning more about your specific needs and working with you and your wonderful family, Jenessa raeofsunshinemusicco.com

“Jenessa, Ms. Jen, was an amazing caregiver to our kids. She arrived on time and had many activities planned with our children. Ms Jen asked questions to ensure she had the right knowledge and understanding of what and how our children would be cared for. She was very knowledgeable in how to communicate to our kids and provided engaging conversation. We had a wonderful experience with Ms Jen and would definitely look forward to her caregiving services in the future. ”

I have nannied for over 7 years. I graduated from SDSU with a degree in liberal studies- for elementary education. Although I have not transitioned to a classroom I find nannying and caring to be an amazing way to fill my life and work! I have loved many families and lots of different configurations over my time! I’ve worked with multiple toddlers, special needs children, been hands on with elementary schoolers and I’ve grown very comfortable in so many settings. With having such a diverse group of people to nanny for I’ve found myself cooking, cleaning, organizing and even more, I’m happy to help in so many ways!I love to bring a gentle, patient and supportive environment for any kiddo while still providing structure and routine with clear communication. CPR/First aid certified, up to date and also trust line registered

“Ace was awesome! Always on time and my little brother loved them! 10/10 recommend”

Hello I’m a mother of 4 grown men. I raised my boys by myself but thrived for them to be strong, independent, hardworking, kind Christian men and those are strong morals that I have. For some reason I’m a magnet to kids lol which is amazing to me cause I love kids so I’ve acquired many many nieces and nephews. I go by Angel so I’m always “Auntie Angel” which I love. I love the outdoors, craft, art, music, animals, reading, movies, cooking, and anything adventurous so with that being said your child will definitely have an adventure with me everyday! Plus I’m strong believer in learning but I like the more creative ways to learn to make it fun and so you remember what you learn! I do have degree in computer programming (so I am smart :)), CNA (so I’ve taken care of elders with all their needs, which makes me very patient and compassionate), been server/GM at restaurant (so I’m responsible, clean, multi tasked, patient, prompt,loyal,trustworthy), and many other jobs. Also have CPR and first aid. Since I’m single and have no kids I’m free morning thru night. Call me anytime you want some adult time or need to run errands! I’m available and look forward to meeting your family!

“Wonderful!!”

"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)."
