Maya $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maya and i’m currently a student at Berkeley City College, with hopes to transfer into UC Berkeley next fall. I am offering babysitting as well as petsitting services. I love being a babysitter and taking care of children. I plan on working in education later on, and I have been taking care of young children of neighbors and family friends since I was a teenager. I have my own cat as well as a dog (German shepherd) of my own so I am completely happy with working with pets too!

Julieth $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Julieth, and I’m originally from Colombia.I’m looking for a full-time nanny position. I am a caring, patient, responsible, and energetic nanny who genuinely loves helping children learn, grow, and feel safe. I have over Four years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. Throughout my experience, I have supported families by creating nurturing routines, encouraging learning through play, and providing a loving environment where children can thrive. My responsibilities have included bottle feeding, preparing healthy meals and snacks, diaper changes, potty training, nap routines, school pick-ups and drop-offs, arts and crafts, reading, outdoor adventures, story times, parks, libraries, and age-appropriate educational activities. I enjoy helping children explore the world while making every day fun and engaging. Communication is very important to me. I believe every family is unique, so I always follow parents’ routines, parenting style, and expectations while keeping open, respectful, and honest communication. I have my own reliable transportation, I’m comfortable driving children, and I’m available for occasional babysitting on evenings and weekends as well. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your family and provide your little ones with a safe, loving, and enriching environment. I look forward to meeting you!

Rajya Lakshmi $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi Families, I recently graduated from dental hygiene school and currently work at a dental office, but caring for children has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been looking after kids for over 10 years! My very first job in high school was at a daycare, and I’ve also helped raise my little cousins since they were babies. On top of that, my mom runs a daycare, so I often lend a hand there whenever she needs me. I truly enjoy being around kids and helping them grow, and I’m so excited to meet your little one!

"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)."
