Angie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Angie, and I'm a responsible, caring, and dependable caregiver with several years of experience working with children of all ages. I had currently worked a pre school, where I care for toddlers in a classroom setting, helping with learning activities, playtime, meals, naps, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I'm also studying to become a nurse, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and commitment to children's well-being. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love planning fun, engaging activities like arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games. I'm happy to help with homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and pet care if needed. Families describe me as reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, and I always strive to make children feel safe, happy, and supported while giving parents peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your family!

Sunitasayra $30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Fairfax, CA

Hi! My name is Sunita. I bring years of experience working with children in both school and home settings. I’ve worked as a care assistant at Bright Horizons and other early childhood centers, and I love helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I’m also a mother to an adult son and understand how important it is to have someone kind, responsible, and patient looking after your kids. I’ve lived in different countries and bring a warm, multicultural perspective to my care. In addition to childcare, I enjoy cooking — especially homemade Indian dishes like chicken curry, coconut curry, biryani, and a variety of vegetarian meals. With the school break coming up, I’d be happy to help take your kids on fun outings — whether it's to the park, the movies, or other local activities. I’m reliable, caring, and always ready to help where I’m needed. I look forward to meeting your family!

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
