Hi! I’m Jacqueline, a warm, reliable, and professional nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens.

Leanna $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Leanna. I’m a responsible, caring, and easygoing person who genuinely enjoys being around kids. I’m CPR certified and always prioritize safety while making sure children feel comfortable, supported, and have fun. I love spending time outdoors, listening to music, doing creative activities, and keeping kids engaged instead of just sitting in front of a screen all day. I can help with homework, prepare simple meals and snacks, assist with bedtime routines. I’m also comfortable with pets and have reliable transportation. Families can count on me to be trustworthy, attentive, and communicative. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and fun environment where children can be themselves while parents feel confident knowing their little ones are in good hands.

"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)."
