Susana $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Susana, and I’m passionate about helping families and caring for children. I previously worked at KidStrong, where I helped kids build confidence, character, and brain development through fun activities. I’ve also babysat my siblings for many years, so caring for kids of all ages comes naturally to me. I’m not just a sitter,I love teaching, playing, and helping kids learn new things in a positive, safe environment. Child Care 👶 I’ve worked with children from toddlers to pre-teens and enjoy creating activities that help them learn and grow. Whether it’s reading, outdoor play, crafts, or simple learning games, I love keeping kids active and engaged. I can also help with meals, bedtime routines, and light homework. Pet Care 🐾 I have three dogs, a Golden Retriever, a Yorkie, and a Chihuahua, so I’m very comfortable with both big and small breeds. I can help with walking, feeding, and playtime. Animals bring me joy, and I treat every pet like my own. Household Services 🏡 I used to help my sister with her cleaning company, so I have experience in cleaning, organizing, doing laundry, and light meal prep. I can bring my own supplies if needed. While I’m happy to help with household tasks, my main priority is caring for your children and ensuring they’re safe and happy. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely enjoy what I do. I look forward to helping your family feel supported and cared for! 💛

Hello! My name is Sonia. I’ve been a nanny for nearly a decade and have cared for both children and adults, including an adult on the autism spectrum. I’m based in the Orange County area and open to live-in nanny positions if needed. I’m certified in Adult and Child CPR and First Aid. I love dance and know a bit about nutrition, so I enjoy helping kids stay active and healthy. I can assist with household tasks such as light cooking, laundry, cleaning, and organizing. Errands and driving for drop-offs/pick-ups are not part of what I offer. Families describe me as calm, dependable, and caring and I do my best to create a safe, positive environment where everyone feels supported.

"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."
