Mia $30 per hour for 1 child

I bring a strong and diverse background in caregiving, childcare, and health, shaped by both personal and professional experiences. My passion for working with children began in high school, when I regularly babysat for families in my community. During college summers, I worked as a nanny, managing busy household routines, preparing meals, driving children to camps, practices, and activities, and creating fun, engaging days filled with play and learning. I also worked as a certified lifeguard, which strengthened my skills in safety, responsibility, and quick emergency response. These are qualities I continue to rely on in every caregiving role. Professionally, I have built my career as a nurse, specializing in both labor and delivery and pediatrics. These roles gave me invaluable experience supporting children and families at some of their most important and vulnerable moments. My medical background equips me with extensive knowledge in child development, safety, first aid, and health needs, and I bring a calm, nurturing presence to every situation. As a caregiver, I am dependable, organized, and attentive to each child’s unique personality and needs. I believe in fostering a safe, supportive environment where children can thrive, feel confident, and have fun. Families can trust that I will balance structure with creativity, making sure daily routines are managed smoothly while still encouraging play, exploration, and joy. With a blend of personal childcare experience, lifeguard safety training, and professional nursing expertise, I am confident in my ability to provide excellent care. Whether it’s transporting kids to activities, helping with homework, keeping little ones engaged, or simply being a steady and positive presence, I am committed to supporting families and creating a safe, happy home environment

Booked by 2 families in Berkeley, CA

Hello, my name is Sarah and I am a recent graduate from U.C. Berkeley (class of 2024)! I studied Psychology and Education with an interest to pursue teaching and/or going into the health field. Although I have experience working with children from ages <1 to 6th grade, I feel most comfortable caring for children 2nd grade and below due to my bubbly nature. Don't let this scare you, as I can be very stern with boundaries and expectations that I am expected to enforce. For your kiddos in elementary school, I believe my background in being an afterschool program teacher will allow me to create all sorts of fun crafts for your little ones for mental stimulation! As for pets, I currently am a mother of 2 bunnies and an auntie of one dog. I have experience changing litter, cleaning and refilling water bowls, feeding schedules, walks, and giving your fur babies some attention on the side! Household services I have work experience in would include sanitization, sweeping, mopping, organization, and dishes. Though, I have personal experience with other household chores as well. I would love to gain your trust as a sitter, so please reach out to me for further questions! Hope to hear from you soon! Other important details: I am CPR/First Aid Certified, I have my food handlers certificate, I have volunteered in a daycare setting for 2 consecutive summers and have worked with children from TK to 6th grade for 2+ years.

"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)."
