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.

Gennaro $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, My Name is Gennaro, and I have been guiding youth in traditional, experiential, and special education for just under a decade. My passion is working with children to empower them towards better understanding of themselves and their ability to lead. The majority of my experience working with youth has been through work as an Outdoor Education Guide, where I would lead groups of 10-12 young people in the wilderness for periods up to 14 days. During my years of experience in this kind of work, I was responsible for the mental, emotional, and physical well being of young people in extreme environments. These experiences also allowed me to develop an encompassing sense of empathy, care, and risk management for the young people I have been lucky enough to spend time with. Through my work as an Outdoor Educator, I also was trained as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). I currently am in the Master of Social Work program at San Francisco State University. My other recent experience has been working as a Counselor/Teacher/Mentor at a credit recovery high school in Oakland called the Emiliano Zapata Street Academy, where I now serve on the Board. I am seeking to use my experience with children across a diverse age range, neurodiversity, and culture to aid in families seeking childcare. Cheers, Gennaro

Carolline
Booked by 1 repeat family
$38 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi! My name is Caroll. I’m 34 years old and originally from Brazil. I’ve been living in the U.S. for 5 years, and during this time I’ve had the privilege of working as a nanny for different families, lovingly caring for children from newborns all the way up to 10 years old. I hold a Postpartum Doula certification from the Doulas Institute, which has strengthened my knowledge and ability to support families with newborns in their most delicate and special stage. I’m passionate about childhood and love encouraging kids’ creativity through play, hands-on activities, and lots of imagination always prioritizing screen-free time. I also have experience caring for siblings and multiple children of different ages at once, and I’m happy to help with organizing toys, clothes, and daily routines. I’m fully vaccinated, CPR and First Aid certified for infants, children, and adults, have a valid California driver’s license, and my own car. I speak Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and I’m excited to meet a new family to grow with and build a beautiful connection! 🤍

"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)."
