Hello Parents, my name is Deanna. I am a certified postpartum doula and childcare professional with over 10 years of experience caring for children from infancy through elementary school age. Families trust me because I combine expertise, patience, and a warm, dependable presence. I specialize in newborn and infant care—supporting feeding, sleep routines, and early development—but I also love engaging with toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. Whether it’s creating structured play for little ones, helping with homework, or keeping kids active and entertained, I tailor my approach to meet each child’s needs. What I provide: • Safe, nurturing care for infants with focus on early milestones • Creative and educational play for toddlers and preschoolers • Homework help and after-school support for elementary-age children • Calm, reliable presence that gives parents peace of mind • Household support to ease busy family routines Parents often describe me as professional, patient, and someone their children connect with right away. I understand the trust it takes to invite someone into your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. If you’re looking for a caregiver who can grow with your family—supporting your little one from the baby stage all the way through the school years—I’d love to connect. If your interested in booking me, please read my policy. Once you have scheduled a job with me, I assume you agree to the terms of this agreement. I look forward to meeting your family! Payment Policy: I plan my time and budget according to hours booked, so I require that I am paid for the entire booking regardless of hours actually worked. Booking Policy: If your looking to book me, I have a 4 hour minimum. (except for interviews) Cancellation Policy: Since I am requested by a lot of parents, I need a 24 to 48 hour notice of cancellation so I can book another family. If you do not cancel within that time frame, I request half payment of what would have made during the original booking. If I must cancel because I am either sick or have an emergency. I will make every effort to find you a replacement sitter. Additionally, on the next job, I will babysit an hour for free since I know cancelling can be an inconvenience.

“Deanna is amazing and we couldn't recommend her more highly. She has saved the day on more than one occasion, is super friendly, always comes up with fun things to do with the kids, and most importantly, our kids love her. She's also fun to have around the house. Five sparkly stars.”

Gulnara 5 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Maya! I’m a caring, dependable, and experienced caregiver with nearly a decade of experience working with children, seniors, and families. I also have experience with pet care, house sitting, and running errands. I recently relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles to be closer to my only daughter and am excited to begin this new chapter. I’m originally from the Republic of Georgia and also speak fluent Russian. I have a BA in Economics and Finance, but caring for people has always been something that feels especially meaningful to me. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing I’ve made someone’s day a little easier—and caring for children is particularly joyful for me. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable and confident with the person caring for your little ones. Trust, safety, patience, and reliability are things I take very seriously. Over the years, my responsibilities have included school and activity transportation, helping with daily routines, preparing meals, light housekeeping, and running errands. I’m happy to help with the little things that keep a household running smoothly. I genuinely enjoy cooking, keeping things tidy, and being someone a family can depend on. I have no allergies and am comfortable with pets. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and reliable part of your family’s support system. ❤️

“Gulnara has been my daughter’s full time nanny for the past 10 months, she started when my daughter was 2 mo. I’m very happy with our choice. Gulnara (aka Maya) is very attentive to my daughter, she provides great care. She also speaks different languages which is a big advantage when you have a child. My daughter adores Gulnara. I would highly recommend her.”

"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."
