Gulnara 5 reviews
Los Angeles
$30 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Maya! I’m a caring, dependable, and experienced caregiver with nearly a decade of experience working with children, seniors, and families. I also have experience with pet care, house sitting, and running errands. I recently relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles to be closer to my only daughter and am excited to begin this new chapter. I’m originally from the Republic of Georgia and also speak fluent Russian. I have a BA in Economics and Finance, but caring for people has always been something that feels especially meaningful to me. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing I’ve made someone’s day a little easier—and caring for children is particularly joyful for me. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable and confident with the person caring for your little ones. Trust, safety, patience, and reliability are things I take very seriously. Over the years, my responsibilities have included school and activity transportation, helping with daily routines, preparing meals, light housekeeping, and running errands. I’m happy to help with the little things that keep a household running smoothly. I genuinely enjoy cooking, keeping things tidy, and being someone a family can depend on. I have no allergies and am comfortable with pets. I would love the opportunity to become a trusted and reliable part of your family’s support system. ❤️

Gulnara has been my daughter’s full time nanny for the past 10 months, she started when my daughter was 2 mo. I’m very happy with our choice. Gulnara (aka Maya) is very attentive to my daughter, she provides great care. She also speaks different languages which is a big advantage when you have a child. My daughter adores Gulnara. I would highly recommend her.

Hi! While I’m new to this app, I bring 8+ years of hands-on childcare experience working with children of all ages.

I understand trusting someone new can feel like a big step, so I’m happy to answer any questions, provide references, or even do a quick call beforehand for peace of mind. Looking forward to supporting your family! bilingual in English and Spanish Families describe it me as trustworthy, attentive, and easy to communicate with, with a strong ability to adapt to each household’s needs while maintaining consistency and care.

Booked by 1 family in Sylmar, CA

Hi!! My name is Ashley, I am a business major in college. I have had lots of experience in child care, being one of the oldest of many cousins and being an auntie, as well as working with children ages 3-10 at my church. I genuinely enjoy helping them learn, play, and grow. I find it rewarding to be a positive influence in their lives, watching them develop new skills and explore the world around them. Kids are full of curiosity and creativity, and I enjoy engaging with them through fun activities and meaningful conversations. Additionally, I find working with children to be both fulfilling and energizing, as it allows me to be patient, caring, and responsible while creating a safe and happy environment for them.

Khate North Hollywood
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Khate. I'm 34 years old. I recently decided to go back to school and I’m currently studying to become an Occupational Therapy Assistant. I have years of experience babysitting and full-time nannying. I’ve seen many of the kids I’ve watch grow up to be such lovely little human beings. It’s always been in my nature to take care of people. I love working with kids and help them build confidence as they grow up. My hobbies are listening and playing musical instruments like piano and guitar, drawing, singing, basically everything that has to do with arts! I love getting crafty and creative. I like going on hikes and discovering new coffee shops. I also have a background in Filmmaking and Photography so I like to capture little, beautiful moments.

"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)."
