Hello! My name is Hendy, I’m a college student at Cal East Bay with the goal of becoming a counselor. I have over 6 years of experience working with children, in a Montessori school and babysitting for several families. My passion for kids is always loving them and being creative! I am CPR certified and a trained Medical Assistant. In addition to caring for children, I’m also happy to assist with homework or academic support, as I currently work as a tutor at College of Marin. I love pets (especially dogs!) and am comfortable with any household pets. I can also help with light cooking and household chores, and being reliable to your family’s routine. I look forward to meeting you guys also supporting your children in their growth and development. I’m very fixable! Never be scared to reach out!

I love children and children love me. I’m very lucky and blessed, children are enchanted with me and we naturally delight in each others company. I am a highly trained caregiver in providing for your child’s mental, emotional and physical needs. I bring over 25 years of practical experience with children, from infancy through teenage-hood. I’ve had unique opportunities of working with children ranging in needs from being deemed extremely gifted to being a patient in a lock-down psychiatric ward. It’s important to me that children are given the opportunity to and learn to cultivate their ability to: thrive, be resilient, express themselves fully, develop high levels of self-efficacy & self-worth, love and be loved. I love to play! I’m crafty, artsy, musical, adventurous, active, happy and have great boundaries! Children naturally love me, this makes my job very easy. 😍 (I’ve also worked as a private chef, caterer, and personal assistant.) Some of my experiences with children include: -2 summers of teaching K-5 Science and Art for summer school, 4 yrs of substitute teaching, 2.5 years teaching pre-school for 3'-4's, 2yrs as aTiger Cub 'mom', 2 years I ran a Children's Crisis Shelter, 4 yrs I worked in a lock-down Psychiatric Children's Facility. I was a licensed Respite Care Provider and Foster Parent. I contracted with Child Protective Services for 5 years. I created a program working with Autistic boys (1 yr), for 4.5 years I was a Family Builder Specialist and Program Manager, for 2 yrs I was a Child Developmental and Behavioralist Specialist. I have been a temporary, part time, and full time nanny and sitter for over 20years. Over Covid lockdown I ran a private school and course for grades k&1. I volunteer with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and Adventure Scouts, food kitchens, Women’s DV shelters... Using my expertise in emotions, I teach classes for parents (and also for children) on empowerment, emotional development and intelligence, transformation, and self efficacy/esteem. ** Please note that I have cancellation policy - if you cancel a booking with in a week of, I charge a $50 cancellation fee or 50% of the booking, whichever is higher. After having several last minute cancellations I’ve had to implement this policy, thank you for understanding! **

Booked by 14 families in Port Costa, CA

Hi parents, My name is Vlada, and I’m pursuing a degree in Child Development and Psychology. I’m originally from Russia and I’ve been living here for 10 years with my family. I started to work with kids when I was 14 years old. I started by taking care of my youngest siblings and then volunteering. During my college years thus far I have taken many opportunities to gain more experience with children. I have been working at Monitissori daycare for 4 + years and I also have experience working with special needs. As of right now I have my child development permit, first aide certificate and now working towards my teaching permit. My philosophy is that all children of all abilities should be able to grow up where their social, emotional, and educational needs are met. I love being able to work with kids and watch them grow. If you need any references please let me know, I’ll be happy to provide them :)

“Great sitter. Arrived on time, brought things for the kids, cleaned up. The kids had a lot of fun.”

"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)."
