I am dedicated and dependable with 10years experience as a baby sitter. Am flexible and adaptable with extensive knowledge of childcare and development. Am devoted to helping children in what they have a passion for. I love to help out in school work, light meal preparation and generally take care of the kids. Am fun, responsible and loving and at the same time know how to set boundaries and maintain decorum in the home at all times. However and unfortunately, I am not animal friendly

She was wonderful. We came back to kids sleeping peacefully and a living room cleaned up from all toys and dinner. We would highly recommend her to anyone!

Hello, My name is Jessica. I have a lot of experience within child care and child development.I am babysitter certified by the American Red Cross, CPR and First Aid certified as well. I have completed a child development course in high school that allowed me to create lesson plans and take part in running a private daycare for 2-5 year olds. I also worked for ESF summer camps for three consecutive years working with ages 4-6 and being the activity leader for the before and after care program. I aspire to continue working with children as a child advocate as my career in social work. I am a recent recipient of my masters degree in social work specializing in children and families. A portfolio, copies of my certifications and references are available upon request. I look forward to working with your family! . Thank you!

Jessica was punctual, kind, respectful, and genuinely engaged with the children. This was a “short sit” but I’m looking forward to having her back.

Hi, I'm responsible, punctual, and very caring. I do not drink or smoke at all. I have over 10 years of experience with children, ranging from newborns to teenagers. I love introducing the children I babysit to the different languages I speak. Arts and crafts, outside play, walking to the library, games and reading are activities I enjoy when babysitting. I am excited to meet you and your children!

She was wonderful. Our little one was being a bit moody and I thought it might be a screen night, but she got him to calm down and play, which was outstanding! By the time we came home our little one was happy and asked to see her 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."

"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
