Booked by 4 families in Berkeley, CA

Hello everyone! :) My name is Passhun and I am 22 years old. I love and adore working with kids and have been working with children as a paraprofessional/babysitter for almost four years. Some of my favorite things about working with kids is being able to see their progress and growth and building meaningful bonds. I have experience working 10 month olds-13year olds. I love to do arts and crafts, dance, and do puzzles with the kids I work with. I can also do a few chores such as cooking, cleaning, and running errands. I am also CPR/First Aid certified. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to reach out!

“Passhun was prompt, respectful, and great with my 18-month son. When I got home, my son was engaged, calm, and seemed to be having a good time. I will be hiring her for future babysitting needs!”

Booked by 95 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi! My name is Wendy. I’m a 24-year-old Oakland native (turning 25 this year) with over 5 years of childcare experience and a deep passion for supporting children and families. I am also a proud mom to a six-month-old baby, which has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and understanding of how important trust and communication are when caring for someone’s child. I recently completed two years as an AmeriCorps Student Support Specialist at an OUSD elementary school, where I provided behavior support, social-emotional support, and math interventions for students ages 4–12. I worked closely with teachers, administrators, and school psychologists to help students feel supported and successful. Following that role, I worked at Lodestar High School supporting students with diverse and more intensive behavioral and academic needs. That experience strengthened my skills in behavior management, de-escalation strategies, structured routines, and individualized support. I bring many years of babysitting experience through UrbanSitter, caring for children ages 1–16, along with hands-on newborn experience through my extended family and now as a mother. I am fluent in English and Spanish and come from a large extended family, which has shaped my nurturing and adaptable personality. I am committed to creating a safe, structured, and loving environment where children can thrive. I prioritize clear communication with families about routines, meals, and expectations because I understand that every family has unique parenting styles and needs. In addition to childcare, I also have experience and offer house sitting and pet sitting services for cats and dogs. I also have a background in housekeeping, so maintaining a clean and organized home is always part of my care. In my free time, I enjoy hiking and rock climbing and staying active outdoors. I look forward to supporting your family and providing dependable, thoughtful care for your children and home.

Booked by 6 families in Berkeley, CA

My name is Margarita. I have 12+ years experience as a nanny. I have 5 younger brothers and sisters who I helped take care growing up. Now, I have 2 teenage children of my own. I have been a nanny for several babies and toddlers for years at a time. I have also done a few nanny shares with toddlers. I take the children to the park, library, and walks in the neighborhood. I am comfortable driving, doing arts and crafts, diapering, preparing meals, and getting the children on a schedule both with naps/eating. I maintain communication with the parents throughout the day. I still stay in touch with all of the families that I have worked with in the past and love to continue to watch the children grow up. I am bilingual - Spanish and English. I have taken classes in childhood development, Pediatric first aid, Child/infant CPR AED, Adult CPR AED and Asthma care course. I am up to date on all vaccines, including the covid vaccine and booster, and follow all guidelines to stay safe/healthy. I am looking for a full time position. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children and in households with pets. I have excellent references that can be shared upon request. I have a passion for taking care of children and will care for your children as my own.

“Margarita nannied for our daughter (in a nanny share with another little boy about the same age) from when she was under 1 to when we moved her to preschool. She is the kindest, most loving person you could have caring your your child. My daughter loves her and I always knew she was safe and happy when she was with Margarita. She is always singing, playing outside, talking to, and engaging with the kids. They are always so happy. I would highly recommending hiring her.”

Booked by 10 families in Berkeley, CA

Hello, my name is Júlia. It's a pleasure to meet you! I have a background as a former Au Pair and I'm excited to begin my journey as a college student. My experience has involved providing full-time care to newborns and toddlers, both as an Au Pair and back in my home country of Brazil, where I worked in a daycare and looked after my cousins. I am often described as responsible, patient, sweet, and calm. Interacting with children brings me immense joy, whether it's playing, engaging in arts and crafts, going for walks, or simply making sure they have a great time. In addition to my passion for child care, I have always loved animals. In Brazil, I pursued my studies in veterinary medicine because I find great fulfillment in taking care of animals. If you have any pets, I would be more than happy to extend my care to them as well! I’m so looking forward to meet you! Julia

“Julia cleaned our apartment thoroughly. Highly recommend and would book her again if we need cleaning services!”

"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)."
