I am a dedicated caregiver with over 3-5 years of experience supporting seniors, children, and pets. My background includes early childhood ed, but my true strength lies in my patient, proactive personality. Whether I’m managing household tasks, assisting with mobility, or organizing educational activities for kids, I treat every family like my own. I’m also a great cook and a calm problem-solver in busy environments." Am also a. student not having many kiddos to babysit so decided to try this app to pay for my school expenses :)

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’m CPR-trained, reliable, and known for creating a calm, structured, and nurturing environment. I’m very comfortable with routines like mealtime, playtime, homework & bedtime. I always aim to make both kids and parents feel at ease. 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. I love being a babysitter and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 15 years old.

Illiara took great care of our kids and kept them engaged while having fun!

"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)."
