Irene 3 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in El Cerrito, CA

Warm, reliable trilingual (German/Italian/English) nanny and household helper with excellent cooking and cleaning skills and Berkeley PhD plus pharmacist training from Europe. I’ve spent the past several years helping my neighbors with their twins from 6 months to 4 years old, including meal prep, morning pickup and daycare drop off, dinner, bath, and bedtime routines. I am very comfortable keeping a home running smoothly: planning and cooking tasty, healthy meals, maintaining a clean kitchen, organizing toys and children’s spaces, and handling light and deep cleaning and laundry. In my free time I like reading, being active and outdoors, crafting and dancing. Thanks for reading, Irene

“Irene was absolutely fantastic. She was punctual, friendly, and brought such a warm, personable energy into our home. She came fully prepared with her own materials and did an incredibly thorough deep clean. everything looked spotless and refreshed. She was thoughtful in her approach, and was super effective in getting everything done efficiently. We’d happily have her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and excellent cleaner!”

Lauren $30 per hour for 1 child

Experienced, kind, and flexible support looking to provide part or full time care (20-40 hours per week) in Berkeley/East Bay while I work on a part-time neuroscience project. I'm active/outdoorsy, creative, and nerdy--I love engaging children of all ages in the fullness of what's happening now! Available for work while my primary family is out of town June 22-June 27. Please note that my hourly rate may adjust for temp/ad hoc care. Recent references available. I grew up raising my eight younger siblings in an unschooling/off-grid environment, nannied school-aged children in undergrad, and have been heavily influenced by Maria Montessori, Rudolf Steiner (Waldorf School), and Fred Rogers. One of my early goals in getting to know your family would be to understand your ethos and preferences, and support them--I've worked well with many family structures and nurturing styles. I believe strongly in empowering children to be attuned to their instincts and environments, play/explore within healthy boundaries, and to treat themselves and others with respect and care. TLDR on logistics: I’m comfortable helping with cooking, chores, errands, pets, the pre/postpartum periods, and other items as needed—happy to discuss the scope of what you’re looking for. I live in Berkeley near downtown and have my own car.

Booked by 1 family in El Cerrito, CA

My name is Erika and I am currently working as a on call Medical Assistant at Kaiser. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I speak English and Spanish. I love taking care and working with kids. I worked as a afterschool staff for 5 years and I worked as a Pediatric Medical Assistant for 7 years. And also did babysitting for 1-2 years. My responsibilities have included walking and driving to/from school, tutoring, soccer and dance lessons. Also assisting with homework, snacks and playing indoor/outdoor activities. I can also work as a household assistant with cleaning, running errands and other tasks. I have been a caretaker for my grandmother and am comfortable with senior care. I can drive to appointments or do other tasks needed. I own a Maltipoo myself and am willing to care for dogs or families with dogs.

“Erika went above and beyond. She noticed the baseboards were dirty and she cleaned those for us without being asked to. She also stayed later to finish her tasks which was very kind of her. Highly recommend!”

Gabriela 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hey Guys!! My name is Gabi, I’m a 19 year old looking for a full time job as a nanny! I have had experience with kids from ages 6 months- 5 since I was 15. My mom is a daycare owner and I was her assistant for about 3 years . I love working with kids and am excited to hopefully find a family I can work for! I can cook, clean, help with homework if needed, and if you guys have pets, I love animals and would love to help as well. I have also graduated high school! I have cpr documents/papers if needed. Thank you :)!

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t recommend Gabi more! She has been babysitting both of our daughters for the past three years, and we trust her completely. Our girls are now 2 and 4, and she has built such a special bond with them. She always keeps them entertained with fun activities while providing the most loving, patient, and safe care. The biggest testament to how amazing she is? Our daughters are constantly asking, “When is Gabi coming over to play?” They absolutely adore her, and as parents, there’s nothing better than knowing your children are so happy and excited to spend time with their babysitter. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, caring, engaging, and truly loves the kids she watches, Gabi is the absolute best. We are so grateful to have found her!”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
