Jennifer $27 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jennifer, a reliable and enthusiastic caregiver with 4 years of hands-on experience supporting families through childcare, pet care, and household services. After my journey in the U.S. Navy I began my journey as a assistant teacher and quickly expanded into full-family support roles, working with families who needed help with everything from daily childcare to keeping the home running smoothly and caring for their beloved pets. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for children from infants through elementary school age, as well as dogs, cats, and the occasional small animal. I genuinely love what I do — creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids while giving parents peace of mind. In addition to childcare and pet care, I’m experienced with a wide range of household tasks including thorough cleaning, meal preparation, laundry, running errands, and light organization. I’m comfortable bringing my own supplies when requested and always take pride in leaving spaces fresh and tidy. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and am known for being punctual, proactive, and genuinely caring. My goal is always to become a trusted extension of the family I work with. I’d love the opportunity to learn more about your family’s needs and how I can help!

"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)."
