​Hi there! I’m a dedicated sitter with over a decade of experience caring for children of all ages. My goal is to make sure your kids are not only safe and supervised but also inspired. I specialize in bringing out children’s inner artists through painting sessions and original creative games that keep them off their screens. I’m also more than happy to roll up my sleeves and help with homework to ensure they stay on track with school. I look forward to bringing a little extra creativity to your home!

Martina $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Berkeley, CA

Childcare & household assistance * I’m Martina, with 2 years of professional childcare experience with children ages 2–6. I’m also happy to care for babies. * For the last two years, I cared for two boys between 2 and 5, from the bottle-and-diaper stage to driving them to preschool and activities, swimming, skiing, biking, cooking, and spending lots of time outdoors. * I’m open to a family/household assistant role and would love to be a reliable extra pair of hands, helping with both the children and the household. About me * I’m 25, the oldest in my family, with 14 younger cousins and a younger sister, so caring for children has always felt natural to me. * I’m responsible and value open communication about everyone’s needs and expectations. * I respect each family’s rules and routines, while bringing my own ideas when welcome. * I love caring for others, introducing children to new experiences, and seeing that little spark in their eyes when they learn or discover something new. * I enjoy an active, healthy lifestyle, running, swimming, freestyle roller skating; I’m also interested in art and architecture. I’d love to start right away! Feel free to message me - maybe I’m exactly the nanny you’ve been looking for! 😊

"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)."
