Hi! I’m Zhanna 😊 I’ve worked with kids since I was 15, when I started teaching piano lessons. I can teach piano and love bringing music, art, learning, and fun into childcare! I have experience caring for children from 8 months to 15 year old. I enjoy encouraging creativity and active play through dance, soccer, reading, writing, music, and art. I can also help with learning words, park outings, cooking, light cleaning, pet care, and morning routines. I’m outgoing, dependable, and currently available for any time sitting!

Zhanna is very nice, motivated, and willing to help. I would definitely recommend her.

Hi my name is Hannah and I play softball at William Jessup University . I’m an oldest child of 3, and have 2 little sisters. I always grew up in a larger family with lots of kids and animals. I am a really big dog person, with 2 dogs at home. I love to play sports, I’ve been playing softball my whole life. I am a sophomore in college and majoring in Criminal Justice. Growing up as the oldest has taught me how to take care of kids in all sorts of ways such as cooking, cleaning, homework, ect. I have also worked with kids before at after school programs along with coaching many younger division softball teams. I have experience with kids of all ages, that comes with having a big extended family and always growing up being a babysitter. Along with experience of pets mainly dogs. I always grew up with dogs in my family. I am CPR certified through a training course given at my college. I have always grown up doing household chores, so I don’t mind cleaning like doing dishes, laundry, organizing, or even running errands. I would absolutely love to work with you, given being a student athlete in college, I am very busy but I can always work around my schedule! Thank you so much!

Hannah is professional and delightful. She easily helped my little one with his bedtime routine. My 5 year old son had a great time with her. Would love to work with Hannah again!

Keyonah 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Nicolaus, CA

Hi! I’m Keyonah! I’m 19 years old, CPR certified, a licensed driver, and currently a student at Sacramento State University studying Early Childhood Education. I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), which has given me specialized experience supporting children with autism and helping children develop communication, social, and daily living skills. While I’m new to UrbanSitter, I’m not new to childcare—I’ve been caring for children since I was 9 years old! I’ve helped raise my two younger brothers and cared for more than 10 cousins, from newborns to teenagers, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of ages, personalities, and needs. Families often describe me as patient, reliable, and engaging. I love creating a safe, positive environment where children can learn, play, and feel supported. Whether it’s helping with routines, homework, creative activities, or simply making sure your child has a fun and structured day, I genuinely enjoy being a positive part of their lives. A little about me: I love building Legos, listening to music, arts and crafts, baking, and cooking. I enjoy incorporating age-appropriate activities into my babysitting to keep kids engaged, learning, and having fun. I understand that every family has different needs, and I’m happy to discuss pricing and scheduling to find something that works for everyone. If you’re looking for someone experienced, trustworthy, and passionate about working with children, I’d love the opportunity to connect with your family!

Keyonah was truly a steady hand and a warm heart during our movie outing. Communicating with her was effortless, and she met every logistical twist with a sincere, easy flexibility that took all the stress out of the day. To my kids, she wasn't just someone watching over them—she was a kind, fun presence who made them feel deeply cared for and safe.

"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)."
