Vanessa $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Vanessa , and I’m an 18-year-old Bay Area native. I have two years of experience assisting an elderly couple with house cleaning, meal prep, yard work, and companionship. I also have several years of experience babysitting child family members and friends of family. I am comfortable with personal care tasks and handling messes or accidents, and I approach all care with respect, patience, and attentiveness.i also have 5+ experience pet sitting! I started pet-sitting when I was 13-years-old, taking care of neighborhood pets. This has given me the chance to care for birds, cats, dogs, and hamsters. I also have a 7-year-old dog of my own who I’ve had and loved since he was a pup. As a person with an active lifestyle, I love taking pets out for walks (a great way to get my steps, Vit. D, and some dopamine from seeing pets have fun outdoors). I am also not the kind of person to shy away from cleaning up a litter box, accidents, or any messes that is commonly a given with pets I currently work weekends at Bumblebee Playspace in Newark Marketplace, helping hosts manage children’s birthday parties, maintain safety, and create a fun experience for families. This role has strengthened my attention to detail, problem-solving, and ability to engage with people of all ages. I also recently just started work as a server at a sushi restaurant which is strengthening my skills in multitasking, quick decision making, and flexibility. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, arts and crafts, board games, and walking. I am passionate about nutrition and often research science-backed articles in my free time. Friends and coworkers describe me as outgoing and friendly. I would love to help bring care to those in need!

"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)."
