Booked by 6 families in Santa Clara, CA

Hello! I'm a compassionate and dedicated nanny/baby sitter with over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, as well as individuals with special needs. Whether it's helping with homework, managing daily tasks, or just hanging out on a Friday night playing games or having a movie night I am committed to providing high-quality, personalized care for your kids. I look forward to bringing my experience and passion for caregiving to a new family when needed.

“Heather was so wonderful with our two girls ages 6 and 7. The littler one was throwing a fit when Heather arrived, but Heather’s calm and friendly presence snapped her out of it and they became like best friends right away. Both kids had a great time, and afterwards their play area was tidier than it’s been in a long time!”

Jenna 2 reviews
$40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jenna, and I am currently enrolled at WGU, where I am completing my teaching credential in Special Education. I am primarily offering childcare services and truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and be themselves. I have over 7 years of childcare experience as a nanny, behavioral therapy manager, and school aide. Throughout my career, I have worked with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and young adults, including individuals with special needs. One of my favorite parts of working with children is watching them gain confidence, discover new interests, and reach milestones. It's incredibly rewarding to be someone who can support and encourage their growth every step of the way. In previous roles, I have provided light cooking, meal preparation, interactive play that encourages learning and development, tutoring, arts and crafts, and transportation to and from activities. I am also happy to help with light housekeeping to make life a little easier for busy families. I am comfortable working in homes with cats and dogs and would be happy to assist with pet care as an additional responsibility. Your child's safety is always my top priority. I am certified in First Aid, CPR, and AED, so you can have peace of mind knowing your child is in capable and caring hands. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide reliable, compassionate care while helping your child learn, explore, and have fun every day.

“Jenna has been working with my 12-yo autistic son for almost 2 yrs now. We initially met her as an ABA therapist. We liked working with her so much. After she quit that job, we have decided to hire her to continue working with our son but this time to help tutor my son on a regular basis. She is very loving and patient with him. Her background in ABA is very useful as she tries to get our son engaged in his academics. Since we started doing this, our son’s attention span for school work (non-preferred activity) has dramatically increased. My son now enjoys reading and doing math with us! She also comes over to sometimes just help babysit. They would play games or go to the pool. I love that she makes sure that Alex is engaged. ! I would highly recommend Jenna!”

"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)."
