Jada San Jose
$32 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in San Jose, CA

Hi! I'm Jada, and caring for children has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I love creating safe, encouraging, and fun environments where kids can learn, grow, and simply enjoy being kids. Whether we're reading books, playing outside, doing crafts, or helping with homework, my goal is to make every child feel valued, supported, and cared for. I earned my Bachelor of Science in English and recently completed my MBA from Liberty University. My education, combined with years of hands-on experience, has strengthened my communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. For the past five years, I've spent time every week serving in lower-income housing communities, working with children from 6 months to 18 years old. I led lessons, organized activities, mentored children, and built meaningful relationships with families. My goal was always to be a positive influence while making life a little easier for parents. I've also worked as a nanny throughout college and have continued nannying over the past year. I've cared for infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and teenagers, and I'm comfortable preparing meals, helping with homework, creating fun activities, maintaining routines, and transporting children to and from school or activities. I have a clean driving record, so families can feel confident knowing their children are in safe hands. In addition to childcare, I've spent several years mentoring students through leadership roles as a Resident Assistant and Commuter Coordinator. These experiences strengthened my ability to remain calm under pressure, communicate effectively, and build trusting relationships with both children and parents. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, traveling, planning events, spending time outdoors, and being with family and friends. I'm dependable, patient, organized, and genuinely love building lasting relationships with the families I serve. Whether you're looking for an occasional babysitter, a long-term nanny, or after-school care, I'd love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your children!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
