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."
