Zamaya $24 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Zamaya.I have two years of hands on babysitting experience. Starting at the ages of eight months and two years. Although I feel as if I’ve been caring for children since always, I have also helped care for my three younger brothers. Which has made me comfortable with children of different ages. I love all animals and would be happy to care for your pets as well! I’m comfortable running errands, cooking, cleaning, working longer hours, and more.

Juliane $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Julie, and I’m a dedicated, patient, and energetic nanny with over two years of full-time childcare experience. Before becoming a nanny, I worked as an ESL teacher for children ages 4–14, where I developed a love for helping kids learn and grow through engaging, age-appropriate activities. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, twins, and school-aged children, supporting everything from developmental milestones and language skills to homework, creative play, and daily routines. I’ve also worked alongside occupational and speech therapists, reinforcing children’s goals at home with consistency and encouragement. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and confident. I strive to create a nurturing environment filled with learning, creativity, and fun while maintaining clear communication with parents. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, fluent in English, and always bring a positive, reliable attitude to every family I work with. I look forward to finding a family where I can make a meaningful, long-term impact!

Amandeep $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amandeep, and I am a caring, dependable, patient, and trustworthy caregiver who truly enjoys working with children. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Criminology and Justice from California State University, Northridge (CSUN), where I was recognized for my academic achievements, including being on the Dean’s List and receiving academic honors and awards. Earning my degree while balancing work and other responsibilities taught me discipline, organization, patience, and strong time-management skills. I have hands-on experience caring for children from newborns through 10 years old. I am comfortable caring for infants and helping with feeding, preparing bottles and meals, bathing, diaper changes, dressing, playtime, bedtime routines, and keeping children safe and comfortable. I enjoy engaging children through age-appropriate activities, being attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and creating a warm and positive environment. I also have my CPR, First Aid, and ABA certifications, which have given me additional knowledge and skills for supporting children safely and appropriately. I also have experience supporting seniors and helping families with errands, appointments, organization, and household responsibilities. I am bilingual in English and Punjabi/Hindi, communicate well with parents, and understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s children. I am responsible, nurturing, energetic, and calm under pressure, and I would treat every child with the same care, patience, and respect I would want for my own family.

"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)."
