Jacqueline San Diego
$35 per hour for 1 child

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. I currently care for an 8-year-old boy about 10 hours a week and am looking to connect with more families. In the past, I’ve supported a busy household with four children (ages 2–11), helping with after-school care, bedtime routines, and date nights. I’ve also traveled with families and am comfortable with overnights. I have my own transportation and love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids. Excellent references available!

$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My background is primarily in childcare, with most of my experience caring for babies from 3 to 16 months old. I’ve also worked with toddlers and young kids and truly enjoy being part of their daily routines and growth. I have been babysitting since I was 15 years old and have gained a wide range of hands-on experience along the way. My responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, grocery runs, preparing meals, crafts and creative play, tutoring, and even helping with activities like dance lessons. I’m comfortable caring for children without relying on screens and understand the energy, patience, and engagement that requires. I genuinely enjoy staying present, active, and attentive with the kids I’m caring for. Personality-wise, I’m bubbly, outgoing, and warm, while still being responsible and reliable. I truly care about the children I work with and love learning their routines, personalities, and the little things that make them feel happy and comfortable. I’m also a strong multitasker, comfortable caring for pets, and happy to assist with household tasks for an agreed-upon additional fee. My goal is always to support families in a way that feels trustworthy, positive, and stress-relieving.

"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)."
