Booked by 2 families in Orinda, CA

Hello! I’m a nurturing, compassionate caregiver with a lifetime of experience caring for children, adults, and seniors. I am mom of three wonderful adults, with a degree in nursing (BS from UVA) and experience as an art director. Over the years, I’ve cared for people of all ages, from babysitting to working in children’s rehabilitation and autism support. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and recently trained as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). I’ve also cared for seniors, recently supporting my own father through his dementia journey. With two cats and a lifelong love for animals, I’m equally at home with pets. Beyond caregiving, I enjoy ceramics, painting, and outdoor activities. I bring warmth, reliability, and a genuine love for people of all ages. I’d be honored to support your family—please reach out with any questions!

Natasha $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natasha, I’m 30 years old, recently married, and I speak fluent English and Portuguese (my native language). I’m a caring, responsible, and loving person who truly enjoys being around children. I’m also a follower of Jesus Christ, and my values are very important to me—I go to church every Sunday and try to bring kindness and patience into everything I do. I have 1 year of hands-on experience taking care of two siblings (a 2-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy). I helped with their daily routine, including: • Preparing breakfast • Dropping them off and picking them up from preschool • Taking them to the park on their days off • Keeping them engaged and happy throughout the day I love creating fun moments with kids—whether it’s dancing together (they LOVE “chicken banana” 😂) or watching their favorite movies (yes… Elsa on repeat!). I build strong, loving connections with children, and they usually feel very comfortable and happy around me. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, patient, and genuinely passionate about childcare, I would love to connect with you. Send me a message and let’s talk 🤍

Merlot $40 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a UC Berkeley psychology student who genuinely loves working with kids. I’ve been tutoring students since fifth grade and have spent years caring for my younger cousin (now 7) and her friends. I currently serve as a National Next Gen Advisor for NAMI and as a UCLA Family Advisory Board Member, where I’ve had the opportunity to advocate for children, teens, and families. Those experiences have taught me the importance of patience, communication, and helping every child feel seen, heard, and supported. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, have a valid driver’s license, and am a non-smoker. I’m happy to help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, pets, and anything else that helps make your day a little easier. One thing that’s really important to me is being present. I believe some of the best parts of childhood happen when we’re reading books, baking cookies, building forts, playing outside, doing crafts, making up silly games, or simply talking about our day. While I’m always happy to follow your family’s routines, I try to keep screen time to a minimum because I’d much rather spend that time making memories, encouraging curiosity, and helping kids build confidence. More than anything, I hope to be someone your children feel excited to see and someone you feel completely comfortable trusting with the people who matter most to you. I speak English, Spanish, and Farsi. I am open to learning more languages and find it important to celebrate cultures and learn more about them. Looking forward to connecting :)

Hazel $27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have been working with kids for the past 4 years now and I absolutely love it! I have the most experience with infants and toddlers but I still have ample experience with kids up to 12. I worked at a daycare for the past three years primarily with ages 6 weeks - 3 years but I also worked as a swim instructor with kids up to 12. I love crafting and playing games! I am comfortable with diapers, potty training, and breast milk/formula. I can watch 3-5 kids at once depending on the ages and I am also fully vaccinated.

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
