I have 5 younger siblings and as the oldest, I’ve helped with taking care of them, including education and hygiene. I’m able to watch over them for hours at a time and I learned to cook too. I have also worked at a summer program once for art and was able to get more experience with older children (8-10 years old). I also have a cat that I take care of frequently as well as moments were I’ve cat sat for my aunt.

Jackeline $30 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic nanny/au pair with strong experience caring for children of different ages. I have experience with toddlers and young children, including caring for kids aged 6 months to 13 years old, helping with daily routines, meals, playtime, bedtime, and creating a safe and loving environment. I’m originally from Brazil and currently living in the U.S., which has helped me become more independent, adaptable, and confident in communicating with families from different cultures. I’m patient, organized, affectionate, and truly enjoy spending time with children, supporting their development while making everyday activities fun and engaging. In addition to childcare, I also have experience with housekeeping, organization, and teamwork through my previous jobs and volunteer experiences. My goal is good communication, and a positive connection together.

"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)."
