$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Berkeley, CA

Currently a part time babysitter for a 10 month old in Oakland. I have a B.A. in Sociology from UC Santa Cruz and I have worked in office administration as well as care giving over the years. I sing in a cover band and dance tango in my free time! I was a full time nanny for a family in Oakland and NYC for three years raising their infant daughter and young boy through the toughest early years. I really enjoy spending time with children and I have a calm and grounding presence which I believe helps young families with a lot going on. I have done light house keeping, errand runs and school and activity pick up and drop off.

Chloe is aweome! our shy 3 year old warmed up to her quickly. She is easy to communicate with - responsive, prompt, easy to work with on our somewhat complicated situation. I would definitely recommend working with her for your childcare needs and i hope she will be able to continue working with us too!

Hi! I’m Zeynep and I provide childcare, pet care, and elder care services. I have a bachelor’s degree in Child Development and about 7 years of experience working with children. I have worked in kindergartens, schools, hospitals, orphanages, and special education centers through internships. For the last 1.5 years, I have been taking care of children in the United States. I mostly work with children who are 2 years old and older. My duties have included driving children to school, classes, or appointments, preparing healthy meals and snacks, organizing play and storage areas, making arts and crafts, helping with homework, and doing light cleaning related to children. I also helped take care of my grandmother and have experience with elder care, such as helping with bathing, nail care, and preparing healthy meals. I enjoy talking and spending time with elderly people. I love animals, especially cats. I have two cats, so I have experience with cat care. I don’t have dog care experience, but I am happy to work with families who have dogs. I am responsible, caring, and love creating a safe and happy environment for children and seniors!

"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)."
