Ashley $22 per hour for 1 child

I have 17 years of experience as an educator and almost 5 years as a career nanny. I have worked with children of different ages from infancy to school age. As an early childhood educator, I love how creative and curious the children are; their minds are like sponges ready to learn new things. I also had the opportunity to work as an after school teacher. It was a rewarding experience to help the students excel academically.

Storm $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My Name is Storm, a theatre artist and educator based in the Bay Area; I provide childcare and home management services. Working with children brings me so much joy, and I've been caring for little ones for over 6 years. I'm experienced with various developmental stages- from babies through elementary-aged children. I handle everything from coordinating transportation and preparing nutritious meals to facilitating educational activities and organizing fun outings. As a theatre teaching artist, I've worked with Bay Area theatres that focus on community building and literacy development. I've led creative curriculum for young people ranging from transitional kindergarten through high school, using drama and storytelling to foster confidence, collaboration, and communication skills. I love incorporating imaginative play, performance games, and creative expression into my time with children. Beyond childcare, I offer support with day-to-day household needs, including meal planning and preparation, tidying, shopping trips, and various personal tasks. I also provide warm companionship while assisting with daily routines like cooking preferred meals, coordinating medical visits, and helping maintain an organized living space. I welcome families with pets, and am comfortable with working in pet-friendly homes. I can't wait to hear from you and learn how I can help make your days a little easier and brighter!

Iva $28 per hour for 1 child

I am 63 years old and originally from Sofia, Bulgaria. My name is Iva. In Bulgaria I have graduated from Technical University,I have pedagogy courses. Now I live in Berkeley with my daughter and have worked as a custodian of both children and elderly for the past 15 years.Both my own granddaughter and the little boy I have looked after for the past 18 months have been 2mos-2yr old during the time of my care. I took care of two children together once a week. They will no longer need my help as the girl goes to pre-school, so I'm looking for another job / family I can work for. I respect all styles of parental care and focus on providing lots of love and affection and engaging children in games, imaginary games, books, and so on. I love to play them outdoors and use every opportunity to communicate with others. I am a good chef and prepare fresh, healthy dishes for the child every day. It can also help with light housework. I love kids and they love me. As a carer, I am responsible for my work, creating a safe environment for the children and making them happy. Also, I am active, intuitive, empathetic and very organized. Apart from English, which I speak at a comfortable level, I am fluent in Italian, Bulgarian and know intermediate level Russian. I would love to find a new family to help and have a relatively flexible schedule (prefer Mon-Fri, but could also consider weekend days as an alternative). I am open to taking on multiple kids in a nanny-share setting. I would also consider offering care for specific days.

"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)."
