Paris 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Berkeley, CA

I’m a caring, loving, patient, and honest person who truly enjoys helping people of all ages grow in every aspect of life emotionally, mentally, and physically. I’ve worked in daycares and also have years of experience as an independent babysitter, helping with homework, preparing lunches, dinners, and occasionally breakfast. I also assist with light housekeeping, running errands, and I’m always open and eager to learn new responsibilities to better support each family's needs. I’ve cared for seniors as well, offering companionship, preparing meals, sorting medication, and keeping their living spaces clean and comfortable. I'm outgoing and dependable, and I approach every caregiving situation with empathy and respect. I’m also great with animals. I'm a proud dog owner myself, so I understand how important pets are to a family. Being a caregiver brings me joy because it allows me to build meaningful connections while making a positive impact in others' lives. I take pride in being someone people can count on.

Simone $32 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Simone! I’m an empathetic, responsible, and active caregiver with a background in youth development and education, including experience working with elementary-aged children. Most recently, I worked as a Summer Camp Coordinator, where I created 36 STEAM lesson plans each week and coordinated three weekly excursions throughout the San Francisco Bay Area for 100 elementary-aged children, and was the manager for 14 adult staff and 25 teen interns. Before that, I worked in an after-school program in downtown San Jose, providing homework support and leading sports and recreation activities. I’ve also worked with children and teens in summer programs, teaching swimming and leading aquatic activities including stand-up paddleboarding and surfing with the FVC for UCSB alumni families. I love creating fun, positive experiences while making sure kids feel safe, supported, and heard. I’m CPR/First Aid certified and have extensive experience with active supervision and safety. I’m currently between jobs and excited to use my extra time to provide families with dependable, caring, and engaging childcare!

"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)."
