Booked by 4 families in Berkeley, CA

Hello! I’m Marisol. I’ve helped raise my two younger siblings and have worked at a church for the past year, caring for multiple children at a time, ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years, including many children on the spectrum. I’ve also volunteered at the Oakland Zoo’s summer camp where I helped supervise groups of 20+ children during tours and lessons. I’m also bilingual (English and Spanish)! I’m an avid sports fan and athlete, participating in both boxing and flag football. I truly enjoy working with children and can guarantee that I will always do my very best to care for your child. I’m very hands-on and love engaging with kids, whether it’s sitting on the ground for tummy time or running around playing tag. I would love to learn more about your child’s unique personality and specific needs so I can support them in the best way possible. Feel free to ask any questions!!

“Marisol was great! She was very punctual and actually got here a few mins early both times. She was sweet, caring and engaging with our son, and our son absolutely loved her!”

Booked by 5 families in Berkeley, CA

Patient, bilingual caregiver with 5+ years of childcare experience, including infants under 1, toddlers, and school-age children. I currently work full-time as a Family Ambassador for charter schools in SF and am seeking occasional or part-time babysitting in the evenings and on weekends. I’ve worked with SFUSD, after-school programs, and ABA services, and I’m CPR certified. Families describe me as caring, dependable, and creative. I especially love working with infants under 1, and I enjoy engaging kids through reading, play, and outdoor activities. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping, tutoring (in any subject and in Spanish), and bedtime routines. Pet-friendly and reliable, I’d love the chance to support your family and provide safe, fun, and enriching care for your little ones.

“Marieolos was wonderful and spent all night with my friend's newborn so they could get some rest. She was amazing with the baby. We will definitely use her again!!!”

Hello- My name is Brithanie and I am a fourth-year college student and currently attending CSUEB’s Nursing Program! I am CPR & First Aid certified. I also speak Spanish! I enjoy babysitting :) I have had experience with babies and children ages 1-10! I worked with a senior my first semester of college, which I enjoyed so much and learned a lot from.

$32 per hour for 1 child

Been babysitting since I was 12! I also have worked at a Beach Camp in SoCal for 5 years and worked with kids aged 2-13. I love everything from sports to crafts. I have my own car and am a very safe driver. I am looking for babysitting jobs and nannying.

“Maddy has watched my two boys many times over the years, and they are always completely THRILLED when they know she is coming to babysit. She is kind, fun, loving, energetic and excellent at keeping kids of any age entertained. She has taught them all kinds of fun games from her days as a camp counselor and always comes ready to play! In addition to babysitting for date nights, Maddy has watched our boys for extended periods (for example a quick wine tasting afternoon), extended overnights when we are traveling, and also is super helpful as an afterschool pick-up/shuttle between sports and activities. In fact, many parents who meet her at my boys' events inquire about her availability. She is a gem!”

Booked by 3 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi parents, I have 15 years experience look after infants and toddlers. I worked as a nurse assistant for nine years. I took care of patients ranging from newborn babies to 15 years old. In addition, I was an au pair and lived with a family in the Bay Area for two years. I took care of their boy since he was eight months of age. After that, I have been working as a full time nanny in San Francisco with several families for about four years. Most of the time I take care of babies ranging from three months to toddlers. I am delighted to contribute to their development and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with previous families. Also, I have excellent references.

“She was absolutely wonderful. I was nervous because I only went off of the on review I had seen (which was totally positive) and she surpassed expectations. She was constantly talking to and engaging my 10 month old baby. Not only was she was skilled at caregiving but without asking her to do it my kitchen, living room, play room etc was the cleanest I had seen it. Highly recommend”

"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)."
