Booked by 3 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi there! My name is Shanel. I have experience with all ages as I’ve worked in daycares and worked with many different families who have had children of different ages ranging from 0 to 15. I also have a lot of experience with children who have mental or physical disabilities. My responsibilities thus far having been driving, homework help, crafts/indoor activities, outdoor activities, overnight help or babysitting, preparing meals, bottle feeding, bedtime routines, changing diapers or bath time and hosting play dates. I’ve also done live in care for over two years. I’m able to offer senior care, pet care and household care/errands as I’ve taken care of both my grandparents and have had many different pets of my own. I can cook, clean, do laundry, drive, organize etc. I am CPR certified and a non-smoker. I have my California drivers license, I also have my own car.

Shanel was everything we needed in a babysitter. She regularly cared for our younger son from age 4 months to 1 year. She was reliable, efficient, and most importantly, very caring and nurturing to our son. She did everything from bottles and nap time to solid foods and activities for his development. She would sometimes care for our 4 year old son as well, and could manage both very well. She has no problem getting down on the floor to read, play, talk and sing. We would use Shanel again and highly recommend her.

Kristen $40 per hour for 1 child

With 18 years of experience caring for children of all ages, I truly love what I do. Building meaningful bonds with kids and meeting them exactly where they are is one of my greatest strengths. Organization is my superpower, and I use it to create calm, structured environments where children feel safe, supported, and able to thrive. I'm compassionate, patient, reliable, and creative, always thinking of engaging ways to help children reach their milestones while having fun. I also love supporting families as a whole and helping out wherever I can to make daily life run more smoothly. I'm excited to meet the next family I'll be working with, whether it be as a nanny or as a family assistant. If chosen as a family assistant, my rate is different, and I'm happy to chat about it when we meet. Please note that I am allergic to cats and most dogs.

Hi! My name is Ana Iris, and I'm a warm, reliable, and experienced nanny with over 5 years of childcare experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and older children. I have experience with infant care, sleep routines, bottle feeding, introducing solids, milestone tracking, sensory play, outdoor activities, library visits, music, storytelling, and emotional regulation. I love creating a calm, nurturing, and safe environment where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to explore. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR and First Aid certified, and I have strong long-term references. I would love to connect with a family looking for someone caring, dependable, and truly invested in their child's well-being.

"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)."
