Lauren $30 per hour for 1 child

Experienced, kind, and flexible support looking to provide part or full time care (20-40 hours per week) in Berkeley/East Bay while I work on a part-time neuroscience project. I'm active/outdoorsy, creative, and nerdy--I love engaging children of all ages in the fullness of what's happening now! Available for work while my primary family is out of town June 22-June 27. Please note that my hourly rate may adjust for temp/ad hoc care. Recent references available. I grew up raising my eight younger siblings in an unschooling/off-grid environment, nannied school-aged children in undergrad, and have been heavily influenced by Maria Montessori, Rudolf Steiner (Waldorf School), and Fred Rogers. One of my early goals in getting to know your family would be to understand your ethos and preferences, and support them--I've worked well with many family structures and nurturing styles. I believe strongly in empowering children to be attuned to their instincts and environments, play/explore within healthy boundaries, and to treat themselves and others with respect and care. TLDR on logistics: I’m comfortable helping with cooking, chores, errands, pets, the pre/postpartum periods, and other items as needed—happy to discuss the scope of what you’re looking for. I live in Berkeley near downtown and have my own car.

Camila $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Camila, and I offer child care and household support services. I love working with children and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids in a daycare setting. My responsibilities have included supervising meals and playtime, diaper changes, potty training support, preparing nap areas, helping with nap time routines, and keeping spaces clean and organized. I’m very comfortable supporting daily routines and creating a safe, structured, and caring environment for children. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and fun learning activities that help kids stay engaged and creative. I can also help with homework support, basic tutoring, and maintaining routines. In addition to childcare, I can assist with household tasks such as light cleaning, organizing, dishes, laundry, and meal prep support. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable helping families stay organized and on track throughout the day. I have a background in medical assisting and have completed externships at Lifelong Medical Care Clinic and B12 Love Lounge, which strengthened my skills in safety, communication, and caregiving. I currently also work as a lead coach at The Practice Space, where I support communication, confidence-building, and responsibility. I’m comfortable working with pets and happy to help wherever I’m needed to support the family.

"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)."
