Cleonix $27 per hour for 1 child

I am a 26 year old South Bay resident passionate about childcare and my local community! I’ve always been proud to be the person families call when they need someone they can count on- especially when life gets busy, unpredictable, or just a little chaotic. I’m confident and comfortable caring for children as young as six months all the way up to teens. I aim to always bring a calm, positive presence to the home. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone- and I fully show up for that responsibility. I’m dependable, always on time, and genuinely care about becoming a supportive part of your family’s day-to-day. I am also experienced and comfortable with working alongside parents who are at home while I provide care. I know how helpful it can be to have a second set of hands to care for your children! At the same time, I bring warmth, fun, and creativity to the time I spend with kids. I focus on age-appropriate play that encourages imagination, independence, and confidence. Whether it’s storytelling, art, make-believe games, or getting outside for movement and fresh air, I love helping kids stay curious, joyful, and engaged. I know that these early years are so important to set them up to be the best adult versions of themselves one day. I also have a creative background- I earned my degree in Communications from UC Santa Barbara and have worked as a freelance photographer and creative communicator. That side of me comes out naturally when I’m with kids, whether it’s through art projects or fun crafts or story time. I know how much it means to find someone who fits seamlessly into your world and makes life feel a little easier- and I’d love to help your family!

Booked by 1 family in Hawthorne, CA

Hi families! My name is Maria, and I am a dedicated and passionate caregiver with over 10 years of professional experience supporting children of all ages, from infants to 17-year-olds. I pride myself on being deeply attentive, detail-oriented, and safety-conscious while creating a lively and nurturing environment. I love keeping kids engaged through interactive play, reading together, and preparing healthy, homemade meals. Beyond my extensive general childcare background, I also bring valuable personal and hands-on experience caring for individuals with special needs. Growing up with a sister on the autism spectrum has equipped me with a unique understanding, patience, and empathy for children with diverse developmental abilities. At the core of my caregiving philosophy is compassion. I believe in leading with an open heart and treating every child entrusted to my care as if they were my own. Whether your little ones need help with homework, an energetic play partner, or specialized care, I am here to provide a safe, joyful, and supportive space for them to thrive. 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."
