Booked by 4 families in El Cerrito, CA

Hi, dear family! My name is Evilyn, I am 25 years old and I am from Brazil. I have experience with childcare for all ages for at least 5 years, but I have much more experience with toddlers and infants since I was an Au Pair and took care of to kids from 0 to 3 years old. I am affectionate, easy going, helpful and energetic. I am certified in First Aid and CPR. Also, I have my California driver's license, so I am available to pick up and drop off children.

“Evilyn was very kind and caring with our children. She did very well with the baby. She's able to help out around the house beyond child care as well!”

Booked by 1 family in El Cerrito, CA

My name is Yonka and I am from Bulgaria. In my country I was a teacher for 20 years. Besides Bulgarian and English I speak Russian and a little bit French. Here I’m a babysitter/nanny/mother’s helper. I love kids, I have three grandchildren. My life is being surrounded with children. As a babysitter I follow the requirements the parents have. Strong communication is a must. With the little ones I go for a walk every day, to the library and parks, reed books, create stories, sing, do arts. I maintain the kid’s area clean and organized. It’s not a problem to do the laundry or load/unload the dishwasher. As a mother’s helper I clean, organize, do the dishes, including hand washing and laundry (fold and put clothes back, vacuuming.

Booked by 2 families in El Cerrito, CA

Hi families! My name is Chokey, and I’m currently looking for my next wonderful family to work with. I will be available starting September 28, 2026. A little about me: I’m Tibetan, born and raised in India, and I have an 18-year-old son who recently graduated from high school. I have over 10 years of professional nanny experience, caring for children from newborns through age 10, with extensive experience with infants and toddlers. I have worked with several families starting from the newborn stage, and with many others, I started when their babies were around 3–4 months old. I also have experience caring for twins and working in a nanny-share, caring for children from two different families at the same time. Before moving to the U.S., I worked as a Registered Nurse in India, with experience in midwifery and newborn care. My nursing background has given me valuable knowledge and experience that I bring to my work caring for babies and young children. I am also trained in CPR and infant massage. I come from a Buddhist background and bring a calm, compassionate, patient, and nurturing approach to childcare. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly committed to providing loving and attentive care. I’m looking for a full-time position with a minimum of 45 guaranteed hours per week. Additional hours would be greatly appreciated. I’m very flexible and happy to stay late when needed, help on weekends, or accommodate occasional last-minute schedule changes. I have excellent references from my previous families and would be happy to provide them. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, I would love to connect and learn more about your childcare needs.

“I would give Chokey 10 stars if I could! She takes care of our kids (5 yo boy and 1,5 yo girl) regularly and she is so wonderful with them. She is very caring, loving, she constantly makes our kids laugh and they adore her. Chokey is very hardworking and goes above and beyond. She never takes shortcuts. I feel my children are very safe with her as she is a registered nurse. It's a joy to have Chokey around.”

Tenzin 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

I'm a loving and patient nanny with over 12 years of experience caring for children from diverse backgrounds. I'm Tibetan born and raised in India and fluent in three languages, I focus on nurturing each child's unique personality with kindness and respect. Guided by my Buddhist values, I create a safe and positive environment where children feel loved and can grow at their own pace. My naturally friendly, patient, and creative personality allows me to connect easily with kids, creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment where they can thrive. I believe in open and honest communication with parents, and I'm always happy to provide updates in the way that works best for you-whether it's a quick text, a detailed conversation at the end of the day, or anything in between. I respect and follow household routines and rules while also encouraging children to explore their independence and express themselves freely.

“Tenzin is one of a kind and I have interviewed almost all of the nannies on urban sitter including on sight trial days with about 150 of the higly rated nannies. I am not kidding, I am very picky when it comes to child care... She is full of compassion, empathy and kindness. She comes home with full of positive energy every single day. She is very smart, emotionally very stable, she is extremely patient with kids. She makes every moment a fun, engaging and memorable moment with her creativity, positivity. She is full of positive energy. She turns tough moments into fun moments, It is hard to explain her greatness with these simple words... The world needs more people like Tenzin. If every child had a caregiver liked Tenzin the world would thrive!!! Tenzin makes exceptional expected. She is a baby charm, child magnet or what ever you call... She worked with us for 2 years, she raised my son with really good manners, she taught my son English and she raised my baby girl putting a lot of effort not to even make them get upset, not even close... Let your child meet her, spend time with her, it will make a huge difference, your child deserves this experience, it is much more full filling and much more fun then the Disneyland ;) I am surprise I am the first one to write her a review here on Urbansitter, she is very humble to ask for a review...”

Booked by 7 families in El Cerrito, CA

Hello my name is Emma M. I have been living in the Bay Area for six years but I'm originally from Northern CA. I have experience with special need kids including those with cerebral palsy, pika, autism, and those needing full time care. Seeing kids with a range of capabilities through Ability First programs has opened up my view on how to support each individual child and family. Having taught elementary level summer school back North showed me how much I love to see kids grow. Most recently I've been with a family of six (three kids +dog) for 4 years. My responsibilities were wide including transporting to activities, housecleaning, grocery shopping, cooking meals, and of course caring/keeping the kids active and learning. This last school year I have worked for Three families consistently along with multiple need-based families in the Berkeley area. I have loved the experience it has brought me. With the summer approaching I'm transitioning from these beautiful families. I am eager to find a great fit to help for at least the next year or so. I'm very reliable and flexible so please leave and ask any questions you wish. Have a nice day! :)

“Our girls LOVED Emma. They had so much fun and afterward, our oldest was already asking when Emma could come back to watch them again. Highly recommend.”

"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."
