Hi there! My name is Janna and I just graduated from CSUEB with my BA in Sociology. I have been babysitting in a casual familial setting since I was a tween and am looking to expand my services into a more professional environment. I offer child care to children from about 6 months old to tween ages (including twins). I can also provide household services including cleaning, laundry, cooking, & running errands if needed. I have a driver's license and car if children need to be picked up or dropped off from extracurriculars or any appointments. I am happy to curate interactive and creative activities for kids to enjoy such as art, games, and active time. I love caregiving as it is so fulfilling to be a part of a child's journey into the world. I'm excited to hear back from you.
“Janna is amazing. As a first time mom especially, it’s important that I feel as comfortable as possible leaving my baby to be cared for. From day one, her energy was calming, and soooo welcoming. So much so my son gravitated to her right away! She’s thoughtful, punctual, communicative, and easy going. My schedule is hectic & sporadic & with that she’s been kind enough to accommodate with last minute care requests. At times I can barely fill her in on what the day looks like/ or the routine for the day, and still she shows up and does an incredible job every single time. Most of all I love how she interacts with my son and pays attention to detail. (Changes his clothes without me asking. Tidies up his area, interacts and engages with him etc) she’s even done light housework for me without me asking, and that truly means the world to a busy mom like myself, and gave me some time back to spend with my boy! Anyone would be incredibly lucky to book with her, and I can guarantee she will bring an extra layer of light/happiness to your home/children! ”
With over 2 years of experience as a professional nanny, I bring a deep understanding of child development and a passion for creating engaging, educational environments. My expertise in bilingual communication and behavioral management has consistently resulted in positive developmental outcomes for the children
“Huda was great with our son. Will hire again!”
I am a full time employee as a diesel mechanic at a local tractor shop and a part time student. I also am in the middle of trying to get my own small business up and running. When I am not at school I am hanging out with my family, cooking family dinners or cleaning or maybe even studying for my classes! I have taken three years of American Sign Language in High School. I am not fluent but will be more than happy to try my best if it will come in handy! (Please be understanding I am rusty since I don’t use it much) If you have any questions at all please feel free to message me!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
