Hi families! My name is Jessica and I’m an experienced nanny and current teacher in a public elementary school. I truly enjoy working with children and supporting their growth through fun, safe, and educational experiences. I speak both English and Spanish, and I love teaching! This summer, I’m available for part-time nanny jobs (3–4 hours a day) or occasional babysitting. I’m patient, reliable, and love helping little ones feel confident and cared for. I’d love to connect and support your family! . Feel free to contact me to know more about me.

Jessica was wonderful to work with and our 7 year old son loved her too - we will definitely hire her again!

Hi! As the oldest of three children and a previous after-school instructor, writing tutor, and nanny, I am a caregiver at heart. Raised in Mexico and later Las Vegas, NV, I am fluent in Spanish, currently a law student, love exercising, and hold a passion for cooking delicious (and traditional) Mexican cuisine. As a former tutor, I am passionate about the art of language and writing. I have experience tutoring Kindergarten through college level students and believe every child deserves individualized care and respect. My caregiving experience is vast, from serving as a formal nanny, to raising my own younger siblings with attentiveness, thoughtfulness, and care. I further believe every home deserves respect, and offer housekeeping services as well. I am committed to serving you and your family.

Hi! My name is Bator and I attended the University of Maryland. I offer child care, senior care, and household services. I’m trilingual and love teaching kids French through simple lessons, games, and conversation. I have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-age children and can help with homework, crafts, meal prep, school pickups, and routines. I am also comfortable with pets. I’m comfortable supporting seniors with meals, companionship, transportation, and daily tasks. I can cook, clean, organize, and run errands. Families describe me as patient, reliable, and caring, and I love creating a warm and safe environment.

Bator was awesome. Connected with our daughter right away. Did activities with her. Kept to the bedtime schedule and sent updates. Would definitely use again!

"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)."
