My name is Monique, and I am a dedicated childcare professional with over 7 years of experience as a caregiver and five additional years as an English teacher in Brazil. I have been living in Oakland since January 2019, when I first arrived in the United States. I began my career in childcare as an au pair in early 2019 with a wonderful family who inspired my passion for child development and family support. Since then, I have worked with multiple families as a babysitter and have spent the past three years as a full-time nanny with one family, building a strong and lasting relationship. I am engaging, patient, and highly reliable. I am also a confident driver, fluent in both English and Portuguese, and bring strong communication and organizational skills to my work. Most importantly, I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. I look forward to supporting a new family and contributing to their children’s growth and development.

Monique was wonderful - super thoughtful and engaging with my son; really COVID-19 conscious as well. We can't wait to have Monique come over again!

Hi! My name is Ottie and I'm a 24 year old student at UC Berkeley. I've been working with children since I was 15, I started nannying and tutoring children ages 5 to 16 and then I moved on to working at schools in care programs. I also worked for 2 months in Romania at a program for underprivileged children in a director position which meant I was in charge of managing all classes, counselors, and communicating with families. I have a first aid certification, valid CPR, and have experience with infants which I would love to discuss further. Other than that, I've been nannying in the Bay Area for the last 4 years, and I have experience with children of all ages. I love to play and be creative. I am constantly in awe of children's enthusiasm and curiosity and I am always learning from them through play and conversation. I'm an energetic, curious and creative person. I am currently working on call for some families in the area, ages ranging 3 months to 13 years, with families I connected with on Urban Sitter. I'd love to take care of your child, I am an experienced, responsible and communicative person, and if you were interested, I'd love to talk over the phone about I can best care for your family 🙂 I am also trained and have experience working with children with autism, along with a range of other developmental differences including physical differences, ADHD, down syndrome, OCD, and asperges. I would love to discuss your child's needs further and share more about my experience and expertise in this area.

My son really enjoyed spending time with Ottie!

Hello! I’m Paula, a psychology student with 10+ years of professional childcare experience, including babysitting, nannying, and two years in special education in middle and elementary school working closely with children who have autism, ADHD and other neurodivergent and sensory needs. My infant and toddler experience includes milestone development, such as supporting tummy time, motor skills, early communication, sensory activities, sleep training, introduction to solids, diapering, potty training, and establishing consistent routines. I have cared for infants from just a few months old and provided nurturing, developmentally appropriate care throughout each stage. With school-aged children, I help with meal prep, homework, reading, creative projects, school pick-ups and drop-offs, and indoor/outdoor play, always ensuring a safe, fun, and structured environment. My special education background has given me strong skills in positive behavioral reinforcement, social-emotional development, individualized routines, visual schedules, and neurodivergent-affirming care. I’m experienced supporting children with autism, ADHD, and sensory needs in both home and school environments. Families and colleagues know me as reliable, warm, organized, attentive, and developmentally knowledgeable. I’m passionate about helping children feel safe, confident, and supported as they grow. If you’d like to learn more about my experience, I’d love to connect!

Paula was great and comfortable with my two young children. We would gladly invite her back!

"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)."

Eric D., dad of two
