Booked by 7 families in Emeryville, CA

Hi there! I’m Soha :) Unfortunately, my original profile was deactivated (along with my 5 star rating and 30+ families) but I have over a decade of experience providing regular childcare to families of infants, toddlers (my fave age group), and even teenagers! Happy to provide reviews and references from several former and current parents I babysit for :) I absolutely love babysitting and in the past several years, I have made it my goal to ensure every family I’ve ever had a gig or regular babysitting job for (about several dozen.. and counting!) receives the best childcare! I am available to babysit for date-nights, events, or any occasion that requires a night out! I don’t mind last minute requests so if you have an emergency or cancellation, I am happy to help and often consider myself an “on demand babysitter” for a lot of families that need a same-day, or even same-hour babysitter! Aside from being a babysitter, I have worked in the legal field for several years. Prior to being a litigation paralegal, I worked in corporate law and legal operations. I also volunteer as a crisis counselor for CrisisTextLine and as a Coach for SoccerShots. Most of my jobs required a lot of emotional energy and empathy, but were extremely gratifying and gave me valuable experience, training to tackle any type of emergency, and a very basic, but universal, understanding of humans. I’ve loved babysitting since I first started using UrbanSitter back in college - it really helped me connect with families, and that connection and confidence as a babysitter is really important and gratifying!

Soha worked with our family for quite a while and she was honestly great with the kids and they were always happy to be around her and she was very patient and caring and she was always on time very responsible and I never had to worry when the kids were with her and she kept them busy with fun activities and made sure they were safe and comfortable I would happily recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely good with children

"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)."
