Dana 2 reviews
$21 per hour for 1 child

Hi my name is Dana and I’m currently a college student attending cypress college! I absolutely love working with children of all ages, and I’ve been a Girls Scout leader working with young girls and part time with the Boyscouts, for around 4 years now. I’ve been able to deal with children of all ages including seniors in highschool, no child is ever too “hard” to handle, I’ve dealt with every mood swing and every difficult situation you can think of, which has honestly made me a better person and better leader for them as well. I’ve worked with children with severe autism, I’ve worked with blind children, children with disabilities, + Being around children as they grow and learn more about their own personalities and their emotions, has been such an amazing experience to be able to guide them and be someone they could look up to and lean on for advice! please feel free to ask me any questions, and we’ll see if it’s a good fit for you and I!

“Dana’s professionalism and childcare experience are undeniable. She’s great with kids of all ages and is very caring and gentle with children. Highly recommend to book with her!”

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

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
