Booked by 2 families in San Ysidro, CA

Hi! You can call me Jackie! 🥰 welcome to my profile! I have over 8 years of experience working with kids, including two years caring for a very special boy with special needs. My responsibilities included driving, helping with household tasks, and providing daily support with patience, much love, and responsibility. I also have a great love for animals - especially puppies! ♥️ Over the years, I’ve taken specialized training and courses to better support children with developmental and behavioral needs. I’m also CPR certified, fully vaccinated, and always prioritize safety and health in everything I do. I’m an excellent and confident driver, with over 10 years of experience. I have many excellent references from families available upon request.

Jackie worked for my family as an afternoon/evening nanny a few years ago, and she was fantastic! A safe driver, and always willing to pitch in and lend a hand with anything that's needed. My four kids loved her -- she is very loving, warm and creative. Any kid would be lucky to get a chance to hang out with Jackie! :)

"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)."
