I worked as a full-time nanny for 20 years before having three of my own children. My children are grown and out of the home I’m looking to get back into babysitting occasionally, doula care, pet care, or housesitting. I have several amazing references in the local area of Orange County. I am still friends with many of the families I worked for. I have a masters in teaching and education from Chapman University. I teach pool safety 3mos-18mos. CPR certified. I enjoy art and taking kids on picnics to the parks and outdoor education activities or kids museums. I absolutely love children and animals.

Sana $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Sana. I currently offer help with childcare, senior companionship, pet care (including walking), and basic household help such as dishes, tidying, and light cleaning. I can also bring my own basic cleaning supplies. I’m a Psychological Science student at UCI and will be graduating this spring. I work part-time as a Mental Health Technician in Newport Beach and am also involved in research at UCI as a research assistant in a psychological science department lab. I have about three years of experience working with children as an ABA therapist and I am RBT certified. I’ve worked with children across a range of ages and helped with homework, played board games, and structured activities, and supported skill-building through positive reinforcement. I also worked as a full time nanny for one year. I also completed a CNA training program, passed my national exam, and gained experience working with elderly residents during my clinical placement in a nursing home. I love animals and am comfortable helping with pets including walking and feeding.

"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."
