Booked by 1 family in Placentia, CA

Hi! I’m a warm, responsible caregiver based in Orange County, currently finishing my bachelor’s degree in psychology. This background helps me understand kids’ development and needs, from infants to teens. I have experience caring for children across a wide age range—from 6 months to 18 years old—and I’m comfortable with feeding, nap routines, playtime, homework help, and bedtime routines. My goal is to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids can explore, learn, and have fun.If you’d like to learn more about my experience or schedule a meet-and-greet, I’d love to hear about your family’s needs and how I can help.

“Berenice is communicative, punctual, and reliable. We love her for cat sitting when we are out of town!”

"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)."
