Jessica Nadyn $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jessica, and I recently graduated with my Master’s degree in Child Life from Azusa Pacific University. I have a deep passion for supporting children and families during times of stress, uncertainty, and medical experiences, and I aspire to work as a Child Life Specialist in the future. My interest in working with children began at a young age. Before pursuing my undergraduate degree at the University of Arizona, I was a primary babysitter for my youngest cousin starting when he was about 11 months old. This experience helped me develop patience, empathy, and a strong understanding of early childhood development, while reinforcing my love for working with children. Throughout my academic training, practicum, and internship experiences, I have worked with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, and adolescents across a variety of settings, including hospital units and community-based programs. These experiences have allowed me to provide developmentally appropriate play, education, and emotional support, and coping support tailored to each child’s individual needs. I am especially passionate about creating safe, supportive environments where children feel empowered, heard, and understood.

"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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
