Booked by 79 families in Berkeley, CA

Hello parents! I have been working with children since I was 14. I have been a camp counselor, a swim instructor aide, a lifeguard and a nursery care provider. I have current CPR/AED and first aid training as well as infant and child CPR training. I have experience with children of all ages. I love spending time with kids because they are so much fun and have boundless energy. When I take care of kids I love to play games, do arts and crafts, or anything else that keeps them active! I am also available to help with pets, light household chores, or any other things as needed. In my spare time I love reading, music movies, and spending time with friends. :) Please feel free to ask me any questions!

Chloe is so good with my 5 month old baby and I have every confidence in her as a sitter. She is in-sync with the baby's needs and cues, and she seems to genuinely enjoy him, which is the most important factor for me. As another has stated, she makes observations about the baby's development and behavior, which shows her involvement and interest. And even when my baby was overtired and screaming and taking a whole hour to go down for his nap, Chloe was able to handle it in stride, knowing that it was "nobody's fault" but rather something that just goes along with caring for babies.. She is quick to respond via message and text, and she is punctual. I also appreciate her personality- she's direct, confident, and has a wry sense of humor, but not in an angry way. I'm looking forward to using her again.

Booked by 8 families in Berkeley, CA

Hello, My name is Chanakarn, I also go by Chana. I’ve been babysitting since before the age of 18, after the age of 18 I’ve been nannying since then, which have now been 7 years of my nannying career. I’ve worked with many families for occasionally nannying, temporary nanny, one-time, part-time, as will have full-time nanny, including both short term and long term care. Some families have pets, dogs, cat, or both, I get along with them as well, and sometimes will do dog sitting, as well as cat sitting. I’ve cared for children at the age of 1 months to the age of 13 year, which is definitely a wide range of different age group. This brings different energy, tactics, methods, and skills out to teach, grow, and learn alongside with them. I can confidently say that all of the children I’ve taken care of have their own unique personality and different ways of expressing their feelings. I’ve never deny their thoughts and expressions, but will calmly show and explain what action is not nice to do if any case, how it can hurt others or harm themselves. Throughout the years of my experience I’ve learned so much and do understand ways to adapt and work with different individual personality traits. I love to see each individual grow and will continue to do what I love.

"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)."
