Katarina $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Katarina, a recent UC Berkeley graduate, and I’m excited to offer childcare, pet care, and household help! I currently work as an assistant teacher at Glenview Elementary with TK and kindergarten students. I absolutely love working with younger kids and find it easy to connect with them and create an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and heard. My responsibilities include helping with lesson planning, supervising recess and snack time, assisting with activities, and keeping kids engaged through play and learning. I also have experience as a household assistant and am happy to help with cooking, cleaning, organizing, grocery shopping, and other errands. I have a driver’s license and my own car, so I’m also available to drive children to activities, school, or appointments and take care of errands. I’m also happy to provide pet care! I’ve cared for friends’ pets and am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I’m responsible, caring, creative, and hands-on, and I’d love to help make your family’s day a little easier!

I love my job apasiónate for children’s 20 years of experience age 0-10 years, I register to thrust line , COR and FIRST AID certification, clean driving records, .etc

“Brenda has been our beloved nanny for the last 18 months, helping raise our daughter from 6 months until she turned two. There are many choices out there for caregivers, but after interviewing and meeting several, Brenda stood out to our family most notably for her warmth and loving personality. It was immediately clear to us that she would deeply love and care for our daughter. I also never had any doubt that my daughter was safe, learning and having fun. She helped my daughter through all of the milestones. Brenda is punctual and reliable and naturally good with young children. Our daughter is starting preschool and we are sad to end this chapter but intend to maintain our relationship for babysitting engagements in the future and would just say any family is lucky to have her.”

"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)."
