Merlot $40 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

Hi! I’m a UC Berkeley psychology student who genuinely loves working with kids. I’ve been tutoring students since fifth grade and have spent years caring for my younger cousin (now 7) and her friends. I currently serve as a National Next Gen Advisor for NAMI and as a UCLA Family Advisory Board Member, where I’ve had the opportunity to advocate for children, teens, and families. Those experiences have taught me the importance of patience, communication, and helping every child feel seen, heard, and supported. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid driver’s license, and am a non-smoker. I’m happy to help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, pets, and anything else that helps make your day a little easier. One thing that’s really important to me is being present. I believe some of the best parts of childhood happen when we’re reading books, baking cookies, building forts, playing outside, doing crafts, making up silly games, or simply talking about our day. While I’m always happy to follow your family’s routines, I try to keep screen time to a minimum because I’d much rather spend that time making memories, encouraging curiosity, and helping kids build confidence. More than anything, I hope to be someone your children feel excited to see and someone you feel completely comfortable trusting with the people who matter most to you. I speak English, Spanish, and Farsi. I am open to learning more languages and find it important to celebrate cultures and learn more about them. Looking forward to connecting :)

Andria $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Andria, and I’m originally from San Francisco and now residing in the East Bay. I come from a large, family-oriented background where I’ve spent years caring for children of all ages, which naturally led me to expand my services into professional childcare, pet care, and household support. I’m dependable, nurturing, and very hands-on. I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and organized environment whether I’m caring for children, assisting seniors, or helping maintain a home. I’m also great with pets and comfortable managing multiple responsibilities at once.

Natalie $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m Noa, a 24-year-old working as an instructional aid at an ousd preschool! I bring a bilingual, whimsical, and holistic touch to caregiving. My caregiving style is very patient, intuitive, and child-led. I’m highly experienced with neurodivergent children and understand how important it is to provide a calm, low-pressure environment. I worked as a 1:1 paraeducator for a tk student with autism+PDA and absolutely loved it! I’m completely comfortable letting kids take the lead whether that means jumping into their favorite games, giving them space for quiet parallel play, or using collaborative problem solving to help navigate daily routines. Growing up on a ranch in the Imperial Valley surrounded by a rich Mexican culture, I was raised with a true farm-to-table mindset. I even learned how to bake bread before I ever got a cell phone! I love bringing that passion for cooking and gardening into my daily care, nurturing each child's whole self through creative play, patience, and mindful support.

"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)."
