Hi, I’m Camila I’m 22 years old and I’m looking for be a babysitter! I was an au pair for 2 years getting a lot of experience with everything related to childcare, I’ve helped multiples families as a nanny after that.

Booked by 3 families in Albany, CA

Hi there! My name is Shanel. I have experience with all ages as I’ve worked in daycares and worked with many different families who have had children of different ages ranging from 0 to 15. I also have a lot of experience with children who have mental or physical disabilities. My responsibilities thus far having been driving, homework help, crafts/indoor activities, outdoor activities, overnight help or babysitting, preparing meals, bottle feeding, bedtime routines, changing diapers or bath time and hosting play dates. I’ve also done live in care for over two years. I’m able to offer senior care, pet care and household care/errands as I’ve taken care of both my grandparents and have had many different pets of my own. I can cook, clean, do laundry, drive, organize etc. I am CPR certified and a non-smoker. I have my California drivers license, I also have my own car.

Shanel was everything we needed in a babysitter. She regularly cared for our younger son from age 4 months to 1 year. She was reliable, efficient, and most importantly, very caring and nurturing to our son. She did everything from bottles and nap time to solid foods and activities for his development. She would sometimes care for our 4 year old son as well, and could manage both very well. She has no problem getting down on the floor to read, play, talk and sing. We would use Shanel again and highly recommend her.

"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)."
