Katie $30 per hour for 1 child

I am a 58 years old mother of 3 amazing daughters and am now a grandmother to a two year old with another on the way. My youngest daughter just graduated high school and is off to college so I am now free to commit to a family for child care or senior care. I have been a stay at home Mom with all 3 of my girls and have been helping with my Grandson since the day he was born. I also have experience with seniors. When both of my in-laws became sick with dementia and cancer I moved them both into my house and provided round the clock care for them for several years until they moved into hospice. I have always enjoyed being a caregiver. It comes naturally to me. I am very responsible, trustworthy and loyal and I take great pride in any work I do. I am CPR certified, have a 2025 Outback with insurance and have a clean record. **I do have allergies to cats and dogs and it can be quite severe so unfortunately I can only work in a pet free home.** Thank you for your consideration

Cami $26 per hour for 1 child

I grew up 1 of 4 with my sister being diagnosed with autism exposing me very early on with the needs of nuerdiverse people and the comlassion and empathy needed to support them! I worked with kiddos of all ages for over 10 years starting with teaching swim lessons starting at age 16 and casual babysitting for friends and family to now working with kiddos with nuerodifferences and providing ABA therapy. I believe children are our future and they should feel supported, understood and safe! I love seeing the kiddos I work with grow and learn and become amazing little humans! I love going on hikes and walks with my dog, you will likely find me at the dog beach or in the garden during my free time. I love to create and am currently working with ceramics for my small business!

Karen $15 per hour for 1 child

The reason why my rates are so low compared to other is because I know the struggle of needing childcare and having no support . I work with kids on the spectrum supporting children from 5-12 years old with behaviors. I have experience with ages ranging from newborn - 12 years old . I am a big listener when it comes to parents expectations of a nanny to their children . My goal is that you feel comfortable leaving your children with me knowing that they are being taken care of the way you would want them to be. The downside about me is that I’m allergic to dogs and cats :( Contact[removed]427

Jennifer $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and highly resilient individual with significant experience managing complex family responsibilities. As a mother of two and a long-term primary caregiver to my own mother since childhood, I have cultivated exceptional skills in time management, resource allocation, empathy, and crisis resolution. Following my mother's passing, I am now eager to apply these honed organizational and management skills toward supporting the goals of a professional organization. My background demonstrates a powerful capacity for commitment, multitasking, and problem-solving under pressure, making me a highly organized and compassionate addition to any team.5️⃣6️⃣2️⃣▫️2️⃣4️⃣6️⃣▫️7️⃣5️⃣5️⃣2️⃣

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."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"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)."
