Booked by 1 family in Cos Cob, CT

Hi! My name is Jessica. I have over 15 years experience with nannying/babysitting as well as children with disabilities. I have been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life (34 years). I’m a very kind, responsible, reliable, positive, hard working, compassionate, patient, calm, caring, organized, clean, tidy, adaptable, easy going, friendly, rational decision maker, friendly and proactive professional who excels at helping others and taking care of households. I began babysitting at 14 and began nannying at the age of 18 through present. I’ve worked with infants, kids, and teens as well as individuals with disabilities of all ages (an area I thrive in). Nannying/babysitting/helping others/ taking care of households comes naturally to me and I absolutely excel in these fields of work with a positive and “go getter” attitude! When I am babysitting/nannying/taking care of pets/households that is my main focus and I do not let anything get in the way of accomplishing my goals or work. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you!

Loved her! She showed up on time, was super pleasant and Raven loved her. They had ice cream and went to the park. She sent me pix and kept me updated which was great. Would recommend her again !

Angela $32 per hour for 1 child

Hello, My name is Angela, and I am looking for a full-time, long-term position caring for a family. I am available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with occasional availability for overnights. I have over 10 years of experience as a nanny, caring for children of all ages—from newborns and up. I am CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, fully vaccinated, and have a clean driving record with my own reliable transportation. I also come with excellent references. My responsibilities can include light housekeeping, children’s laundry, preparing healthy meals and snacks, scheduling playdates, organizing outdoor activities and arts and crafts, assisting with bedtime routines, party planning, school drop-offs and pick-ups, and running family errands. When caring for newborns, I have experience with diaper changes, bottle feeding, establishing nap routines, potty training, baby-led weaning, and supporting developmental milestones. I enjoy taking children to engaging activities such as the library, music and art classes, parks, and both indoor and outdoor play spaces. I also incorporate Montessori-inspired values into my care whenever possible. I bring warmth, reliability, and a strong work ethic to every family I support. As a mother of two grown boys, I understand the importance of providing both structure and a nurturing environment in a child’s life. I know firsthand what to expect at each stage of development and take pride in being loving, patient, and proactive. I also believe in maintaining open communication with parents so that routines are consistent, and families never miss out on the special moments in their children’s growth.

"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)."
