Booked by 10 families in Berkeley, CA

I'm Michaela. I am a mother of 4. I have 3 boys and just welcomed my first girl in September! I opened my own in home daycare in 2020 but closed to focus on baby girl. I’d love to find a family that would allow me to bring her along. I genuinely love working with children. My experience ranges from newborns to teenagers. I've even cared for children with special needs and multiples. I’ve seen and done it all!

Michaela was really sweet with my kids— they loved having her over!

Booked by 2 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi I’m Nova. I’m currently a student at SDSU and am here for the summer, I’m offering services in child and pet care. I love watching over both children and animals. Growing up I’ve had a big family with lots of kids and have had lots of experience watching over kids of all ages. And I love all animals. When babysitting before, my responsibilities included arranging dinner and various activities as well as putting the kids to bed. I can drive and am comfortable cleaning and doing various things around the house. I also speak Spanish, which interest parents who want to expose kids to another language, especially at younger ages.

"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)."
