Booked by 11 families in West Haven, CT

I’m a patient person. I enjoy being surrounded by kids. I have 6 years experience in the field. I believe children are the most beautiful gift someone can ever receive. I like to educate my littles pumpkins, what’s better than taking good care and educate them at the same time. I’m bilingual Spanish-English and I’m always open to teaching them my native language which is Spanish if the parents are comfortable with it. Feel free to contact me at any time.

“Jioelenny was fantastic! We knew the instant that she showed up that our daughter would be comfortable with her. Jioelenny got right down to her level and greeted her, and our daughter seemed so happy and excited. Jioelenny has a lot of experience as a full-time Nanny and this definitely showed. ”

"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)."
