Arianna $15 per hour for 1 child

I’m a dependable, patient, and compassionate caregiver with a background in childcare, senior care, and community support. I have a certification in Early Childhood Development, have been a nanny for three years, have experience as a foster parent, and am a parent myself. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of children’s needs, routines, development, and the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment. I’m comfortable helping with daily routines, meals, activities, transportation, personal care, household tasks, and maintaining clean and organized spaces. I enjoy creating fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage children to learn, explore, and develop new skills. I’m also experienced in caring for seniors, including assisting with daily activities, medication reminders, transportation, companionship, and maintaining a safe living environment. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I genuinely enjoy building connections with the people I care for and take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care that families can feel comfortable trusting.

Joanie $20 per hour for 1 child

My name is Joanie Merriman. People would describe me as kind, compassionate, loving, caring and lots of fun! I am very responsible with a high level of integrity. I love people, children, animals and nature above all things. My passions have led me to pursue caregiving, for both humans and animals, as a fulfilling path. As a youth, I went through a childcare program and began babysitting when I was just 12. When I was in my twenties I worked at the San Diego Opera. While there I acted as the in house nanny for all the opera singers that would come through. In addition, I was part time nanny to the General Director’s two boys for six years. I have tons of experience in childcare. Most recently, I’ve cared for my great-niece for the last year since she was just three weeks old. After the Opera, I moved to Los Angeles where I primarily worked in business administration while also doing childcare part time. Babies and children are a passion of mine. They bring me so much joy! I am very playful and attentive; children take to me naturally. In 2007 my big sister was diagnosed with brain cancer. In 2008 I stopped working to be her full time caregiver. I was her primary caregiver for ten years. Over this time, her illness took on many forms. She developed dementia that became so severe I was bathing, changing her diapers and feeding her. I also have cared for my brother who has traumatic brain injury for over fifteen years. He is now in a care home but I still serve as his primary outside of the facility. In addition, I have my 89 year old mother that I am privileged to be able to care for when she is in need of assistance. All of this to say, I am very experienced in the care of children and adults of all ages with both physical and intellectual/neurological disabilities. Since my sister’s passing, I have been self employed doing home organization and resale. However, this has not been fulfilling for me; not enriching of my life. My desire to do more meaningful work has led me to pursue caregiving professionally; that and the urgings of many who site how caring I am and how natural it is for me. Caring for children, adults and animals comes natural for me. I am excited about this move in my life. I look forward to meeting you and learning how I can help care for a loved one(s) in your life. I am certified in infant, child and adult CPR and advanced first aid.

"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."
