Natalie $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m Noa, a 24-year-old working in special education at a preschool! I bring a bilingual, whimsical, and holistic touch to caregiving. My caregiving style is very patient, intuitive, and child-led. I’m highly experienced with neurodivergent children and understand how important it is to provide a calm, low-pressure environment. I worked as a 1:1 paraeducator for a tk student with autism+PDA and absolutely loved it! I’m completely comfortable letting kids take the lead whether that means jumping into their favorite games, giving them space for quiet parallel play, or using collaborative problem solving to help navigate daily routines. Growing up on a ranch in the Imperial Valley surrounded by a rich Mexican culture, I was raised with a true farm-to-table mindset. I even learned how to bake bread before I ever got a cell phone! I love bringing that passion for cooking and gardening into my daily care, nurturing each child's whole self through creative play, patience, and mindful support.

Nicole $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Nicole and I am a freshman at UC Berkeley looking to provide childcare services in the area. My experience: All throughout high school, I’ve worked during the summers at a speech and debate camp, where I was responsible for a group of around 10 fourth- and fifth-grade students for half of each day. My role included leading activities, supervising lunch, keeping kids engaged, and teaching confidence-building public speaking skills in a fun, age-appropriate way. I value helping children grow and learn responsibility while making sure they feel supported, safe, and entertained. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable managing multiple children at once. In addition, I’ve helped supervise groups of children at birthday parties and small gatherings, allowing parents to relax while knowing their kids were safe, engaged, and well cared for. This has given me experience managing energetic group settings, maintaining safety, and keeping activities fun and organized. Skills: Group supervision in informal settings Age range flexibility Behavior management & engagement Structured + unstructured time management Communication with parents Responsibility & trust Educational enrichment Russian language Additionally, I am fluent in Russian, I’ve spoken it my entire life, attended formal classes since age 3, and earned a 5 on the National Examination in World Languages, so I’m happy to support bilingual households if helpful. I absolutely love caring for kids, and would be honored with your trust to help you out and keep your kids safe and happy. I’m happy to meet in person beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit, and I can provide references upon request. My rate is flexible and negotiable based on hours, duties, and your family’s needs, feel free to reach out and we can talk about what works best!

"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)."
