Hi my name is Olue and i am an amazing mother of 2 boys who are 9 and 13yr. I am a college graduate. I enjoy working with children and have been watching kids for over 10yrs. I am experienced in Nanny shares and 1 child care also. My responsibilities are to make sure that i work as a team with parents, feeding, teaching, nurturing, Loving and creating a safe space for a child but most importantly being gentle. Fully vaccinated including Tdap. I already work for a Family part time and have been going 9 months now. I honestly am a great nanny who doesn’t mind helping around the house so parents can come home and spend time with their child. I am a 100% ok with families who have pets.

“Olue was simply amazing. She has a warm, calm presence that both of my boys responded to immediately. My two-year-old is very attached to me, and while he needed a few minutes to warm up, he quickly felt comfortable and connected with Olue — which says so much about her natural ability with children. She was engaging and attentive, met my son exactly where he was, and followed his lead based on his interests and energy level. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and genuinely wonderful with kids.”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
