Amiannah $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amiannah, and I'm a recent UC Berkeley graduate with degrees in Psychology and Social Welfare. I am offering child care, tutoring, pet care, and household support services. I love working with children and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children through babysitting, tutoring, mentoring, and after school programs. I've also volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters and tutored students through community based programs. My responsibilities have included feeding and meal preparation, bedtime routines, educational activities, homework help, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and creating a safe and supportive environment for children to learn and grow. Through my Psychology degree, I specialized in child development, which has given me a strong understanding of children's social, emotional, and cognitive growth at different ages. I enjoy helping children build confidence, explore their interests, and have fun while staying safe. In addition to childcare, I can help with light housekeeping, meal preparation, organization, errands, and pet care. Families describe me as patient, reliable, organized, and easy to communicate with. I look forward to supporting your family!

Hi! My name is Yesenia. I’m a Berkeley native and a working professional with a genuine love for caring for others and strengthening my community.

"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."

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)."
