Keira $25 per hour for 1 child

Aloha! 🌺 Born and raised in Hawaii, I bring positive energy, patience, and a love for the outdoors to every family I work with. I've been babysitting for over 1.5 years and have experience as a live-in nanny, helping with school drop-offs and pickups, meal prep, diaper changes, playtime, and outdoor adventures. I've also provided consistent care for an 86-year-old senior, assisting with daily household tasks, meal preparation, and creating a comfortable, supportive environment. As a lifelong animal lover with years of pet care experience, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all kinds and understand the importance of treating them like family. Families can count on me to be dependable, trustworthy, patient, and attentive. I'm highly communicative, organized, safety-conscious, and adaptable to each family's unique needs and routines. Whether we're exploring outside, getting creative with games and activities, helping with homework, or caring for furry friends, my goal is always to create a safe, fun, and positive environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident knowing their loved ones are in good hands.

McKenna $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is McKenna, I have 4 years of babysitting experience with children of all ages. I currently work at a Child Therapy Center supporting children with developmental delays, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience working with kids of different needs and ages. I'm a college student, so babysitting is something I enjoy doing as a side job while putting myself through school. Families I work with often describe me as patient, responsible, and very dependable. I'm CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety certified, have my own reliable transportation, and love creating a safe, fun environment where kids can learn and enjoy themselves. I'm happy to help with homework, light housekeeping, carpooling, and pets if needed. I truly enjoy working with children and would love the opportunity to support your family.

Hira $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Hira, and caring for children has been a big part of my life for over 12 years. I’ve worked both part-time and full-time as a nanny while also balancing roles in nonprofit management and the corporate world. I also bring over two years of teaching experience. I truly love being around children—whether it’s spending time with my nieces and nephews, my friends’ little ones, or the amazing families I’ve cared for over the years. One of my most meaningful jobs was as a Wish Manager at Make-A-Wish Foundation, where I had the honor of helping children and families during challenging times and making their wishes come true. I recently moved from Texas to Anaheim, and I’m excited to connect with new families. I value creating a safe, caring, and fun environment where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to grow. Outside of childcare, I enjoy practicing yoga, spending time with loved ones, and exploring new hobbies. I’m also a huge animal lover—especially cats! I’d love the chance to connect with you and see if I might be a good fit for your family. Please feel free to call or message me anytime. Warmly, Hira

"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."
