Jessica 2 reviews
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! A bit about me is I like working with kids because I love seeing them learn and become their own individuals. I have worked with kids since I was 13, babysitting and I've worked at a daycare for 2. 5 years. I am currently a lead teacher in the mobile infant room at a 5 star daycare. Taking care of kids is something I enjoy. I am happy to do chores along with taking care of the kids. In my spare time, I like to do art, read, watch shows, listening to music, and spend time with my family. One thing you should know about me is I'm a fast learner and I will work my hardest to follow my duties and to go above and beyond. My skills include understanding, empathy, and patience. I understand being emotional but I also know when to shut it down. I am able to stay calm when under pressure. I come from a pet free and smoke free household but am more than comfortable with animals. I am also CPR certified, certificate available on request.

Jessica is a reliable, dependable, and all around good worker! I’ve worked side by side with her for 3 years and have watched how she handles high stress situations within a daycare setting and she always goes above and beyond to help kids have fun, learn, laugh, and create friendships! I have also used Jessica as a babysitter and she made my little guy feel welcomed and made sure to update me throughout the day with how he was. I would recommend Jessica to anyone who is looking for a date night sitter or a long term nanny!

"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)."
