Dariia $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Dariia, I’m 26, and I’m a loving and reliable caregiver with over 3 years of experience working with children (8 months – 7 years). I’m currently open to occasional babysitting, pet care, senior companion care, and home cooking services – as well as looking for a more permanent nanny position (live-in or live-out) starting August 2025. I hold a Bachelor in Early Childhood Education and I am CPR & First Aid certified. I speak three languages: Ukrainian (native), Polish (C1), and English (B2). Families describe me as patient, kind, and dependable. 👶 Child Care – I can help with feeding, sleep routines, potty training, educational play, stories & songs, and light child-related chores. 🌿 Senior Care – I provide kind companion care for seniors, light household help, and simple meals (no heavy lifting or medical care). 🐾 Pet Care – I offer dog walking, feeding, daily check-ins, or caring for pets and homes while families are away. 🥘 Home Cooking – I love preparing fresh homemade meals, including traditional Ukrainian dishes, for families to enjoy. I am pet-friendly, a non-smoker, and open to flexible schedules. For longer-term positions, I value clear communication, a respectful environment, and a stable schedule. P.S. my availability per each week is different, so please check it by sending me a PM! Thanks 🙏🏻

$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi, dear family! My name is Evilyn, I am 25 years old and I am from Brazil. I have experience with childcare for all ages for at least 5 years, but I have much more experience with toddlers and infants since I was an Au Pair and took care of to kids from 0 to 3 years old. I am affectionate, easy going, helpful and energetic. I am certified in First Aid and CPR. Also, I have my California driver's license, so I am available to pick up and drop off children.

Evilyn was very kind and caring with our children. She did very well with the baby. She's able to help out around the house beyond child care as well!

Tsedal $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a naturally sympathetic, kind, and caring person with a genuine love for children. I have helped care for my nephews since they were babies, which gave me hands on experience in nurturing and supporting and engaging with young children. And I help in Sunday school at church. I find real joy in creating a safe, positive, and encouraging environment where kids feel supported and loved.

"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)."
