My patience and flexibility have been key traits that have helped me create and maintain relationships with children and youth. I enjoy seeing children smile and reaching their fullest potential. Working at an elementary school for seven years has helped me appreciate all the gifts they can offer our world. In addition, I believe adolescents are wonderful beings with so much love to offer this world if given the opportunity.

Hi families! I’m Jessica (but feel free to call me Jessa!) a CPR-certified, bilingual (English & Spanish) babysitter based in San Francisco with a background in bookkeeping. I’ve been caring for little ones since I was 16 — from infants to teens — and I’m known for being calm, dependable, and fun to be around. Whether it’s storytime, school pick-up, or helping with bedtime, I try to be as warm and structured to every home I work in. I’m also experienced with kids who have food allergies, asthma, or special routines, and I’m happy to help with light cleaning, and pet care too! I’d love to be a trusted support for your family — please feel free to message me if you think we’re a good fit:)

"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)."
