Jenelle $25 per hour for 1 child

Heyy! My name is Jenelle and I'm an active 19 year old college student on the pre-med track with hopes of becoming a pediatric surgeon in the future. I'm responsible, caring, and great at working with children in energetic and fast paced environments. I enjoy creating fun experiences while also making sure kids are safe, comfortable, and supported. I'm looking for sitter opportunities to continue building experience, meeting great families and having fun! Outside of school, I love traveling, trying new foods, and spending time with family and friends. Whether it’s helping with homework, keeping children entertained, or simply being a reliable helping hand for busy parents, I always try to bring positive energy and care into everything I do!

"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)."
