Hi there! My name is Jenna, and I'm a lifelong educator and learner with a passion for planning. I have been teaching in daycare settings on and off for over a decade, with time in the midst spent as a nanny and a family assistant. I started working with young kids as a music, arts, and sports educator, and have a background in dramatic play and physical development. I'm originally from Colorado, but have lived in Chicago for nearly 10 years. I’m confident and trained to work with children of all ages, from newborn to teens.

Hi! I have over 10 years of childcare experience in clinical, school, and play-based settings. As a former Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), I have a special passion for working with children with special needs and hope to become a BCBA or open my own clinic one day.

"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."

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)."
