Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, 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!”

Hi! I’m Neelu— I have experience caring for children in creative, educational, and home environments, with a background in Montessori learning. I’ve worked with children ranging from toddlers to elementary age and am comfortable supporting full evening routines, including meals, bath time, and bedtime. I bring a calm, attentive, and nurturing presence, and I enjoy engaging kids through art, outdoor time, creative play, and age-appropriate learning. I value creating a warm, structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore. My experience includes: • Montessori teacher’s assistant (Rising Star Montessori) • Childcare for multiple age groups • Cooking simple, healthy meals • School pick-up/drop-off • Arts & crafts, tutoring, and creative activities I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks like tidying, cooking, and errands as needed. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy building positive, trusting relationships with both children and parents. I look forward to connecting with you!

“Neelu is one of the most dependable, thoughtful, and caring people I know. She has a natural ability to connect with children through patience, creativity, and genuine attentiveness. Kids tend to feel comfortable around her very quickly, and she does a wonderful job creating a calm, engaging environment where they feel safe and supported. She's responsible, communicative, and always follows through on her commitments. Whether helping with activities, meals, bedtime routines, or simply spending quality time with children, she brings warmth, kindness, and a positive attitude. I would feel completely confident recommending Neelu to any family looking for a trustworthy and caring caregiver.”

I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping others and creating a safe, positive environment. I have experience caring for children and understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, consistency, and clear communication with families. I’m responsible, organized, trustworthy, and comfortable helping with daily routines, meal preparation, light household tasks, transportation, and keeping children engaged in age-appropriate activities.

Safety is very important to me, and I am HIPAA and Bloodborne Pathogens certified. Families can count on me to be reliable, compassionate, and attentive to their individual needs

“Rahel is my aunt. I am currently staying with her. She is very caring and clean as well. Her strongest trait is her compassion and how she is very attentive to everyone around her. She is a mother as well and my cousin is very well taken care off in every way. She is also balanced and organized as she is very effective in setting and making sure her son is productive. She is also receptive to suggestions and consistent in her work. I strongly recommend anyone in consideration of her service to not even think twice.”

"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."

"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)."
