$25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a single mother raising one daughter, she’s a very smart and ambitious young girl but regardless of how well behaved she is now that she is older, it was very difficult to get here. Like most kids there will be a lot of different personality phases that they go through having experienced it first hand I know how difficult it is to take care of children. I have had experience with my one and only daughter but also in my past career as a dental assistant in pediatric care, I saw all types of kids, kids who are well mannered to kids who who seem to lack that respectful aspect to a person. And through my career and status of being a single mother it taught me to be patient and to understand that not every kid is the same. And thankfully for me personality wise I'm a very understanding and energetic person, I have a true passion for kids and I love taking care of them as I would my own, and no matter the kind of kid I'm babysitting for, I always remain gentle, patient, energetic, and kind! Because sometimes that's all a kid needs.

Hello, my name is Jordyn! I currently attend George Mason University, where I have taken coursework in child development. I have several years of experience taking care of children of all ages, especially 4-11. Whether it was playing, preparing food, helping with homework, putting down for a nap, etc. I love puzzles, board games, and playing outdoors. Energy and creativity are my specialty! I also own two dogs, so I am very comfortable around animals. I look forward to helping out!

I have been working in early childhood education since 2012, and love being a part of nurturing and growing along with the little ones whom I'm privileged enough to teach and interact with. I enjoy working alongside parents, caregivers, and peers to facilitate learning through play, keeping in mind age-appropriate activities and developmental milestones. With extensive experience in both an educational and in-home settings, I am both flexible and adaptable to a family's needs. Aside from my career, I also enjoy singing, cooking, and time with loved ones.

"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)."
