Hello š Iām Berfu, a friendly and experienced educator with nearly six years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. Currently, Iām employed at a preschool and am actively seeking part-time or occasional work opportunities for the summer and beyond. Iāve completed six units of Early Childhood Education. Iām incredibly comfortable with babies and toddlers, and I always prioritize their safety and happiness. Iām also pet-friendly, fully vaccinated, and passionate about creating a fun, nurturing, and safe environment for children. Whether you need a helping hand, a trustworthy sitter, or a fun friend for your little ones, Iād love to help! š Looking forward to meeting your family!
With going on 6 years of experience caring for one family, I developed strong childcare skills, including managing routines, and keeping kids entertained through engaging activities. I have been on UrbanSitter for almost 2 years and have worked with various families as a repeat sitter! I also have experience caring for my younger siblings and cousins in my big family. I moved for to the Bay Area/Berkeley for college, which led me to transition from my previous long-term position. Iām reliable, nurturing, and love helping kids grow! I am able to drive kiddos around in the familyās car and run errands if needed! I donāt own a car in the Bay Area
āThis was my first time leaving my daughter with anyone, and Milissa made it so easy. She was on time, communicative the whole way through, and so sweet with my girl. I came home to a happy (and sleepy) baby and total peace of mind. :) She did a wonderful job and I cannot recommend her enough.ā

Hi families! I'm MarĆa, an Elementary Teacher from Spain with over 12 years of experience working with children of all agesāfrom newborns to teens. Over the years, Iāve been a babysitter, camp counselor, activity leader, and spent a wonderful year as an au pair here in Californiaāan experience that made me fall in love with the Bay Area, where I now live! Iām passionate about creating a positive, safe, and fun environment where kids feel happy, supported, and free to be themselves. Whether itās playing, helping with homework, guiding routines, or simply being a caring presence, I always adapt to each childās needs and personality. Fluent in both Spanish and English, I love to bring creativity, communication, and even a little language learning into our time together. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, and anything that makes your familyās day smoother. If you're looking for someone experienced, warm, and genuinely dedicated to kids of all ages, Iād love to meet you!
āMaria was incredibly warm and kind. She stepped in last-minute when our regular caregiver canceled just an hour before and showed up right on time, which we really appreciated. She connected with my toddler right away and they had a great time together. She helped smoothly with our morning routine, including getting our child to preschool. She also supported with transportation and helped carry everything we needed to get him to school, which meant a lot since Iām not allowed to lift anything during my high-risk pregnancy. Maria made me feel completely comfortable having someone new in our home. Her energy is calm and reassuring, and itās clear she has a lot of experience, both as a mom of three and as a teacher. I would absolutely recommend her, especially since sheās local and reliable.ā
Hey šš½ Iām Devin, a dedicated and compassionate caregiver with a unique background that blends professional leadership and hands-on childcare experience. Iāve spent the past few months coaching middle school basketball, where I mentor 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade girls and help them build confidence, teamwork, and resilience. Before that, I honed my leadership and organizational skills over 9.5 years in the tech industry as a Product Support and Customer Care Manager. In addition to my professional experience, Iāve spent over four years as a Camp Coach and Gym Director at Legarza Sports Camps, working with children of all ages to foster their growth and development in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I was also the JV Head Coach at Marin Catholic High School for two years, further solidifying my ability to connect with kids and teens while encouraging them to reach their full potential. Beyond my formal roles, Iām often the go-to babysitter for friends and family, caring for children from infancy to their teenage years. I bring a warm, caring, and engaging personality that puts people of all ages at ease, so much so that even strangers feel comfortable sharing their stories with me. Whether working with kids, teens, or seniors, I approach caregiving with empathy, patience, and a sense of fun. I love creating meaningful connections and tailoring my approach to meet each individualās unique needs. From planning engaging activities for children to offering companionship and support to seniors, I take pride in making those I care for feel valued and comfortable. I bring a diverse set of skills, including cooking, cleaning, basketball training, and even website consulting, but Iām always open to discussing and adapting to meet the unique needs of your loved ones. If youāre looking for someone who combines reliability, kindness, and a natural ability to connect, Iād be honored to help care for your loved ones š¤
āDevin was excellent. She was a great communicator and the kids were drawn to her from the moment they met her. She ensured they cleaned up all their stuff as we asked so when we returned we had sleeping children and a spotless house. We will definitely be having her back again soon! ā

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
