Hi! My name is Jessica. I am a recent college graduate with my Bachelor in Health Services Administration. I am a dedicated mom, and a proud pet parent offering child care, pet care, and simple household services. I recently completed my internship at an after school program where I worked with middle school students, helping supervise activities, support events, and assist with daily tasks. I also have previous babysitting experience and understand the importance of creating a safe, patient, and nurturing environment for children. As a pet owner, I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also provide simple household help such as light cleaning and organizing. I am reliable, compassionate, and committed to providing loving and trustworthy care for every family I work with🫶🏼!

We booked her last minute when our regular babysitter couldn’t come, and she was wonderful. She arrived on time and connected with my 20 month old daughter right away. She was warm, attentive, and made me feel very comfortable leaving my daughter with her.

Booked by 4 families in New York, NY

I have been babysitting for over 10 years! I have been a counselor in training at the YMCA, helping in the summer program with specifically children from ages 5-13. This had included for me to work from 9 to 5, and even staying overtime if my advisors needed the extra help. I was consistently, and not only traveling with the children around the building, but outdoors as well. I made sure that they were safe, playing respectfully, doing their planned activities and getting their lunch. Despite the basics, I focused on child development when working with the children, making sure to be understanding of their emotions as that was very important to me. I had to teach them about consequences to their actions with enforcing discipline, yet maintaining a respectful manner. I allowed for them to understand the importance of empathy and apologizing. This allowed for me to understand at the time what it meant to be a leader, and have proper communication skills I Love Children!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
