Hi! My name is Jasmin, and I'm a dependable, compassionate, and attentive caregiver with several years of experience working in healthcare. My background has taught me the importance of patience, safety, communication, and treating every individual with kindness and respect. I have experience assisting people of all ages and understand how to remain calm, organized, and reliable in any situation. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment. Whether I'm caring for children, seniors, or pets, I take pride in being attentive to each family's unique needs. I'm happy to help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, homework support, transportation, errands, and keeping daily routines running smoothly. As a fluent Spanish and English speaker, I'm also able to communicate comfortably with bilingual families. I am Basic Life Support (BLS) certified and trained to respond calmly and effectively in emergency situations, providing families with added peace of mind. Families describe me as responsible, trustworthy, patient, and detail-oriented. I understand how important it is to have someone you can depend on, and I strive to provide care that gives families peace of mind while making those in my care feel comfortable, supported, and valued.

Bennett $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm a married, 35 year-old journalist in a transition phase. Previously, I worked for 10 years as a lifeguard and swim instructor, so I have plenty of experience working with children (infants up to young teens). I'm mild-mannered, calm and patient. I have a sweet little dog named Jacuzzi and we often dog-sit for others, so I'm very comfortable around dogs and all kinds of pets. I'm also a bit of a clean freak and organizer, so I don't mind doing stuff around the house or in the yard, etc.

"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)."
