Hi! My name is Sophia. I have over 4 years of experience working with families in both childcare and house manager roles. I’m CPR certified, dependable, organized, patient, and very hands-on. I love creating a safe and fun environment for kids while also helping parents keep the household running smoothly. My experience includes caring for children of different ages, school pickup and transportation, homework help, meal prep, bedtime routines, laundry, organizing, grocery shopping, household errands, light housekeeping, pet care, and helping manage day-to-day routines. I’m also very active and love getting kids outside for walks, parks, games, and other activities instead of always relying on screen time. I currently work part time at Trader Joe’s, which has made me even stronger with communication, multitasking, food knowledge, and working efficiently. I also have a strong eye for detail and naturally notice what needs to be done around a home without always needing to be asked. I have a clean driving record, reliable transportation, CPR certification, and I’m comfortable with pets. I’m looking for families who want someone trustworthy, warm, responsible, and genuinely invested in making their lives a little easier. I’m available for recurring childcare, occasional babysitting, and family assistant/house manager positions.

Booked by 3 families in El Cerrito, CA

Hi! My name is Jenice and I’m a student at UC Berkeley. I absolutely love being around kids and have over 6 years of experience watching ages 2 months-10 years old. I also have both a 2 year old and newborn baby sister so I'm very comfortable caring for little ones! I’m happy to provide a reference from a family I've worked with for 2 years (2 year old, 5 year old). My responsibilities have included picking up/driving to school and extracurriculars, keeping them entertained at home or going out, tutoring/homework help, and morning/bedtime routines including meals. I’m very attentive and always carry a positive and empathetic attitude. I love to play imaginatively, do crafts, play sports, go to the park, watch movies, and play board games, or anything else they enjoy within their parents boundaries. I love to lend a helping hand and can clean/cook as well! I’m a huge animal lover and have 3 dogs! So I'd love to dog walk/pet sit too!

Hello! My name is Chokey. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns to school age. I've worked with 9 wonderful families in full-time and part-time roles, including twins. I'm also the proud mother of an 18-year-old son. My background is as a Registered Nurse. I am Tibetan and speak fluent English and Hindi. What I Do:- • Prepare healthy meals and snacks • Follow daily routines, including naps • Plan fun and educational activities • Read books, sing songs, and encourage learning through play • Take children to parks, playgrounds, and the library • Assist with potty training • Children's laundry and keep play areas organized • Provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment • Support children's social and emotional development • Give parents daily updates on meals, naps, and activities I look forward to connecting with your family. Thank you!

I would give Chokey 10 stars if I could! She takes care of our kids (5 yo boy and 1,5 yo girl) regularly and she is so wonderful with them. She is very caring, loving, she constantly makes our kids laugh and they adore her. Chokey is very hardworking and goes above and beyond. She never takes shortcuts. I feel my children are very safe with her as she is a registered nurse. It's a joy to have Chokey around.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
