Cory 1 review
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Berkeley, CA

Hi, I'm Corayma (Cory)! I'm a 31-year-old nanny with eight years of childcare experience, from infants to pre-teens. Born and raised in Palo Alto, I've lived in San Francisco for the past decade. I'm currently studying Women and Gender Studies at CCSF. I started in coffee but found my passion connecting with families, which led me to nannying. I've done overnights, vacations, part-time care, school pick-ups, and date nights. I'm patient, creative, and love engaging kids through the outdoors, board games, and educational activities. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children and happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and travel. I provide regular updates and maintain household rules consistently. In my free time, I enjoy arts and crafts, reading, coastal drives, libraries, farmers markets, and discovering new music. I'm fluent in English and some Spanish. I'm looking for a family that values open communication and clear expectations. In return, I offer safe, loving care, reliability, and flexibility. I'd love to create a nurturing environment where your children can thrive!

“Cory is an incredible caregiver and has become a highlight of our son's week! Cory is dependable, flexible, and intuitive on the consistent and evolving needs of a toddler household. We really appreciate her thoughtfulness and patience. We hope to have her supporting us for a long time!”

"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)."
