Hi! My name is Bella, and I’m 27 years old with 11 years of experience caring for children from infants to tweens. I’ve also previously worked with young children as a youth soccer coach. I’m a fun, reliable, and kind sitter who would love to support your family with either occasional or routine care.

I work a corporate role in Digital Merchandising during the week (Monday–Friday) but am available on weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the day. I’d be happy to answer any questions and am open to scheduling a phone interview or meeting in person. Looking forward to connecting with you! 😊

Booked by 4 families in Albany, CA

My name is Monique, and I am a dedicated childcare professional with over 7 years of experience as a caregiver and five additional years as an English teacher in Brazil. I have been living in Oakland since January 2019, when I first arrived in the United States. I began my career in childcare as an au pair in early 2019 with a wonderful family who inspired my passion for child development and family support. Since then, I have worked with multiple families as a babysitter and have spent the past three years as a full-time nanny with one family, building a strong and lasting relationship. I am engaging, patient, and highly reliable. I am also a confident driver, fluent in both English and Portuguese, and bring strong communication and organizational skills to my work. Most importantly, I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. I look forward to supporting a new family and contributing to their children’s growth and development.

Monique was wonderful - super thoughtful and engaging with my son; really COVID-19 conscious as well. We can't wait to have Monique come over 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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

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)."
