Qianna $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is Quianna, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient caregiver with a natural love for helping others. I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment for the people I care for. I have hands-on childcare experience from raising my two children and babysitting when they were younger. I am a mother of two young adult children and a proud grandmother to a 1-year-old granddaughter, so caring for children comes naturally to me. I enjoy helping with daily routines, playtime, learning activities, and making sure children feel safe and supported. I also have experience helping others with everyday tasks such as companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, and organization. I am patient, respectful, and enjoy being helpful wherever I’m needed. I am also working toward opening my own home daycare in 2027, because caring for children is something I am truly passionate about and plan to continue long-term. Families describe me as reliable, friendly, drama-free, and easy to communicate with. I’m trustworthy, organized, and take my responsibilities seriously. I treat every home with respect and care as if it were my own. I look forward to supporting your family and providing dependable, compassionate care.

Elena $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi parents! I am Elena, an outgoing and friendly undergrad college student currently attending Sac State!🐝 I'm studying to become a mental health clinician at either elementary or middle school, so working with children is something I'm in the long-run for! I'm the eldest to three younger siblings (aged 10 months, 9, and 18) and care for several cats, dogs, and lizards in my home! I have three years of working with children under my belt as an after school program leader to first through sixth graders. I am CPR/AED certified. I am also currently working at Village Montessori in Carmichael caring for preschoolers from 18 months to TK. From these experiences, I am prepared to watch over children at any stage of development! I am flexible to the needs of each family, and I would love to meet yours!

Franchesca $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi every one my name is Franchesca, I am a sophomore in college. I grew up by the beach my whole life so I love anything revolving nature and outdoors. I am a very understanding individual when it comes to children, I love teaching my nieces new things such as cooking treats or painting. During the summer I often watch kids with my grandma as she has her own care taking company with age ranges from 2-8. I’m open to care taking for pets as well. If that’s taking them for walks feeding them growing I’m up for the challenge. As well as helping around the house as needed rather that be dishes or picking up laundry for the family I’m always open to discussing any and all help needed. I was in cheer all throughout highschool so I can understand life gets busy and if you need your child to be taken to school or sports related events I am available for taking them to that as well.

Hyewon $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hyewon, and I’m currently studying psychology at UC Davis. I’m passionate about child development and am pursuing a career as an adolescent psychologist, focusing on supporting individuals with developmental disabilities. I have 2 years of experience working with children ages 3–7 as an assistant teacher and 2 years of experience as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) providing ABA therapy to children with autism aged 4–12. I’m patient, creative, and love engaging children through play, art, reading, and hands-on learning activities. I can also help with homework, light meal prep, cleaning, pet care, and transportation to and from school or activities. I have a cat myself and absolutely love animals!

Liliya $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, thanks for checking out my profile! I have 8+ years of nanny experience caring for little ones from newborns to early elementary age. Over the years, I've worked with multiple families long-term and some short term and have also been a traveling nanny so I've picked up plenty of tips and tricks to make life easier for both parents and kids. These days, I focus on occasional care think daytime fill-ins when your sitter calls in sick or daycare is closed, date nights, overnights, and even travel care. Really when you need an extra set of hands. Families appreciate not only the care I give to their children but also the peace of mind that comes from knowing their home and routines are in good hands too. I have a flexible schedule but like to plan ahead whenever possible. If you're looking for a reliable, experienced nanny you can count on for those in-between moments, I'd love to chat! Also I’m new to Urban Sitter but have reviews on care.com.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
