I value clear communication with parents and would love to connect with a family looking for an experienced, dependable, and loving nanny!

Anahid 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I'm Anahid. I have always felt like I am part of each family I've worked for; now I always aim for the same type of fulfilling relationship with my new families. I enjoy organizing play dates, reading books to children, doing art projects with the little ones and going on nature walks to develop their sense of curiosity. With 6 years of experience, my skills also include meal prep, light housekeeping, but most importantly, creating a safe and supervised environment for your child. I speak English and Spanish, and have a squeaky clean driving record. I'd describe my personality as friendly and kind. In my free time I like to go hiking and read books. I am hard-working, responsible and reliable. Thank you for looking at my profile and considering me for your nanny and babysitting needs.

“Anahid is a wonderful sitter. She connected very quickly with my girls (1.5 and 4). She's now working for us as a regular sitter. She's reliable, on time, and thinks about other things that are needed in the house (loading dishwasher, tidying the girls' rooms). Really a kind and wonderful person, and I highly recommend her!”

Some of my responsibilities have included: -Driving children to/from the park or sports practices -Engaging in crafts and playing games with the children -Homework Help -Dog sitting -Organizing What I love most about babysitting is the connections I build with the kids and their families. & the fact that I get to meet their pets, I love cats & dogs!

“We love Cass! She took care of our two boys (5 and 1.5) all summer, and she is now our go-to nanny. She’s so easy to work with, very open to feedback/collaboration, a great communicator, and loves our boys, which is the best!

"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."
