Hello👋 I have taken care of children from 1 to 17 years old teenagers as a babysitter over 10000 hours for the past 3 years for 3 families and 2 kindergartens. I speak fluent English and teach Chinese. After graduation in China, I taught languages and math in primary and junior high schools in the winter and summer camps. I’m a responsible caregiver with childcare and household experience. Background in education and customer service. Patient, organized, and attentive. I support kids’ routines, safety, and learning with kindness and clear communication. Also comfortable with pets and light house tasks.

$40 per hour for 1 child

I'm a loving and patient nanny with over 12 years of experience caring for children from diverse backgrounds. I'm Tibetan born and raised in India and fluent in three languages, I focus on nurturing each child's unique personality with kindness and respect. Guided by my Buddhist values, I create a safe and positive environment where children feel loved and can grow at their own pace. My naturally friendly, patient, and creative personality allows me to connect easily with kids, creating a safe, warm, and engaging environment where they can thrive. I believe in open and honest communication with parents, and I'm always happy to provide updates in the way that works best for you-whether it's a quick text, a detailed conversation at the end of the day, or anything in between. I respect and follow household routines and rules while also encouraging children to explore their independence and express themselves freely.

Tenzin is one of a kind and I have interviewed almost all of the nannies on urban sitter including on sight trial days with about 150 of the higly rated nannies. I am not kidding, I am very picky when it comes to child care... She is full of compassion, empathy and kindness. She comes home with full of positive energy every single day. She is very smart, emotionally very stable, she is extremely patient with kids. She makes every moment a fun, engaging and memorable moment with her creativity, positivity. She is full of positive energy. She turns tough moments into fun moments, It is hard to explain her greatness with these simple words... The world needs more people like Tenzin. If every child had a caregiver liked Tenzin the world would thrive!!! Tenzin makes exceptional expected. She is a baby charm, child magnet or what ever you call... She worked with us for 2 years, she raised my son with really good manners, she taught my son English and she raised my baby girl putting a lot of effort not to even make them get upset, not even close... Let your child meet her, spend time with her, it will make a huge difference, your child deserves this experience, it is much more full filling and much more fun then the Disneyland ;) I am surprise I am the first one to write her a review here on Urbansitter, she is very humble to ask for a review...

Hello my name is Emma M. I have been living in the Bay Area for six years but I'm originally from Northern CA. I have experience with special need kids including those with cerebral palsy, pika, autism, and those needing full time care. Seeing kids with a range of capabilities through Ability First programs has opened up my view on how to support each individual child and family. Having taught elementary level summer school back North showed me how much I love to see kids grow. Most recently I've been with a family of six (three kids +dog) for 4 years. My responsibilities were wide including transporting to activities, housecleaning, grocery shopping, cooking meals, and of course caring/keeping the kids active and learning. This last school year I have worked for Three families consistently along with multiple need-based families in the Berkeley area. I have loved the experience it has brought me. With the summer approaching I'm transitioning from these beautiful families. I am eager to find a great fit to help for at least the next year or so. I'm very reliable and flexible so please leave and ask any questions you wish. Have a nice day! :)

Our girls LOVED Emma. They had so much fun and afterward, our oldest was already asking when Emma could come back to watch them again. Highly recommend.

Hello! I have ample experience working with kids in various settings ranging from outdoor education, working in schools, babysitting, camp counseling, and tutoring. I believe in child growth and development through play and fostering social and emotional learning. I have several years of experience with all ages ranging from 6 months old to 17 years old. I am also CPR certified and have my Wilderness First Responder Certification. I have a clean driving record and reliable transportation. I believe that previous families that I have provided care for would describe my personality as empathetic, kind, and patient. In my spare time, I love all outdoor activities and am passionate about cooking and crafting! Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, I look forward to connecting!

"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)."
