Donnie $25 per hour for 1 child

Experienced & Engaging PhD Nanny/Tutor (CPR Certified, Eagle Scout) Hi, I'm Donnie (or Mattie)! I'm a patient, reliable, energetic caregiver with a unique background combining high-level academics with hands-on, practical skills. As a UC Berkeley PhD and former high school teacher, I specialize in creating a fun, safe, and enriching environment where children thrive. My approach is built on mutual respect to help children develop confidence and empathy. As an Eagle Scout, I'm certified in First Aid and CPR, and am known for my calm, grounding presence that creates a stable, positive atmosphere. ~~~ Support for Neurodivergent Children & Mental Health I have a passion for and significant experience supporting neurodivergent children and adults (ADHD, autism spectrum) and those with mental health challenges (anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder). My goal is to create a space where every child feels understood, respected, and empowered. My experience includes: Executive Functioning Support: Helping children and young adults develop skills in organization, planning, and time management Emotional Co-regulation: Using calm-down strategies and positive reinforcement to help children navigate big feelings and reduce anxiety Customized & Structured Routines: Adapting activities and communication to respect sensory needs and provide the consistency that helps many children thrive Collaborative Care: I have experience reinforcing strategies and goals set by parents, speech pathologists, and therapists to ensure consistent support ~~~ About Me & Activities We Can Do! When I'm not working with kids, I'm always learning something new. I have a wide range of hobbies and love sharing them with children! Depending on your child's interests, we could: Cook or bake healthy recipes together 🍳 Explore local parks and hiking trails 🌳 Get creative with crocheting, sewing, or drawing 🪡 Read new books from the library 📚 Play board games or build with LEGOs 🎲 Learn the basics of piano, flute, or guitar 🎶 Start learning a new language together ~~~ What I'm Looking For I'm seeking part-time or full-time (educational) nanny roles and am also available for date nights and weekend care. I'm particularly interested in positions where I can combine childcare with academic and developmental support. I'd love to learn more about your family and how I can help. Please feel free to reach out!

"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)."
