Booked by 2 families in Acton, CA

Hello! My name is Emily, and I am a caring, dependable, and energetic childcare professional with over 3 years of experience working with children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. As a preschool teacher, I have developed strong skills in creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am passionate about helping children reach developmental milestones through play-based learning, creative activities, outdoor exploration, reading, and positive encouragement. My classroom experience has taught me patience, organization, communication, and the ability to manage routines while meeting each child’s individual needs. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I understand the importance of building strong relationships with both children and parents, and I strive to provide reliable care that gives families peace of mind. In addition to childcare, I am happy to assist with homework help, school pick-ups and drop-offs, meal preparation, light housekeeping related to the children, and pet care. I love creating fun, meaningful experiences that help children feel confident, happy, and cared for. I am currently seeking a position where I can become a positive, supportive part of a family’s daily life.

“Emily was reliable and let me know every step taken. Was on time and oh so so sweet. My son's therapist who was there as well told me Emily was a great sitter! I'm giving her 5 HUGE stars! Thank you so much for your help. :D”

Gulnara 5 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Maya! I’m a caring, dependable, and experienced caregiver with nearly a decade of experience working with children, seniors, and families. I also have experience with pet care, house sitting, and running errands. I recently relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles to be closer to my only daughter and am excited to begin this new chapter. I’m originally from the Republic of Georgia and also speak fluent Russian. I have a BA in Economics and Finance, but caring for people has always been something that feels especially meaningful to me. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing I’ve made someone’s day a little easier—and caring for children is particularly joyful for me. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable and confident with the person caring for your little ones. Trust, safety, patience, and reliability are things I take very seriously. Over the years, my responsibilities have included school and activity transportation, helping with daily routines, preparing meals, light housekeeping, and running errands. I’m happy to help with the little things that keep a household running smoothly. I genuinely enjoy cooking, keeping things tidy, and being someone a family can depend on. I have no allergies and am comfortable with pets. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and reliable part of your family’s support system. ❤️

“Gulnara has been my daughter’s full time nanny for the past 10 months, she started when my daughter was 2 mo. I’m very happy with our choice. Gulnara (aka Maya) is very attentive to my daughter, she provides great care. She also speaks different languages which is a big advantage when you have a child. My daughter adores Gulnara. I would highly recommend her.”

Paola 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

My name is Paola, and I am a caring, loving, patient, and responsible childcare provider with more than 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns to 14 years old. Working with children has always been my passion. Throughout my career, I have provided a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. I understand the importance of building trusting relationships with both children and parents, and I strive to treat every child with kindness, respect, and compassion. In addition to my extensive experience with typically developing children, I also have valuable experience working with children with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Down syndrome, and ADHD. This experience has helped me develop strong skills in patience, communication, behavior support, and creating individualized activities that meet each child’s unique needs. I am dependable, organized, and committed to supporting children’s emotional, social, and developmental growth. Whether caring for a newborn, helping with school-age children, or supporting children with special needs, I always prioritize safety, encouragement, and positive interactions. I would be honored to become part of your family’s support system and provide loving, attentive care for your children.

“The best of the best. Paola is the most attentive, loving, patient nanny for our boys. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t feel so lucky that we found her. Our boys absolutely adore her. She is extremely reliable, always ready to help and is exactly who you would want your children to be learning from and growing up with. If I could give her 100 stars I would!”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
