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

“Han Na was amazing. I was very scared to leave my breastfed, co-sleeping 6 month old in the care of someone else - for the first time ever. Han Na changed everything. She was amazing with my baby. Also very punctual, communicative and laid back. Would highly recommend and will definitely use a preferred choice on this app. ”

"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)."
