A few things about me! My name is Jessica Garcia. I have two beautiful daughters.🥰 I graduated from San Francisco State University. I’ve been with UrbanSitter for a bit over 6 years. I LOVE taking care of children and I’m really good at it :) It comes naturally!

“I was so impressed with Jessica from the start. I normally never leave the house the first time a nanny comes over, but she immediately made me feel comfortable enough to do so. She was absolutely excellent with our daughter, and they seemed to bond so quickly. Jessica kept me updated the entire time, which I really appreciated, and I felt completely at ease knowing my daughter was with her. I truly cannot say enough great things about her. We had such a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend her!”

Booked by 4 families in Solana Beach, CA

I have experience working at an after school care program caring for TK-5th graders. I facilitated indoor and outdoor activities, coordinated snack time, monitored and assisted with homework and ensured safe, organized pick ups/drop offs. I also worked with teens that had special needs as a teacher’s assistant while in school. After high school, I cared for two kids (ages 2 and 4) for almost a year in their home while working towards my degree in child development. After that, I started caring for an 11 month old in her home. I would read to her, take her outside or to the park, feed her, and more. After she started school, I started watching a 9 month old and a 3 year old in their home, very similar to my other jobs. I also have younger siblings that range from 9-1 years old and I’ve taken care of each of them while my parents were working.

“Athena was on time and very sweet! Our boys loved her. She kept them safe and we would definitely recommend her!”

Hi! My name is Kate, and I’m a Registered Nurse with over five years of nannying experience caring for children from early toddlerhood through age 10 and older. In addition to childcare, I have worked as a nurse in both a skilled nursing facility (SNF) and a hospital setting, where I’ve developed strong clinical skills, compassion, and the ability to remain calm and confident in any situation. My medical background gives families added peace of mind, knowing their children are in safe, capable hands. I genuinely enjoy building meaningful relationships with children and creating a fun, positive, and nurturing environment where they feel supported and encouraged to learn and grow. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, engaging in arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, reading stories, or maintaining bedtime routines, I strive to make each day enjoyable while prioritizing safety and kindness. I am dependable, patient, organized, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I’m also happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparation, transportation, and pet care if needed. My goal is to provide families with reliable, loving care and to be someone both parents and children can trust.

“She was was very sweet and kind with the kids. She was also very thorough with her questions about the kids routines and what to expect. ”

"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)."
