Hi! I’m Mia. I’m new to the urbansitter app, I’m a high school graduate, and I am looking to build up my childcare experience to become a full-time nanny in the future. I genuinely enjoy being around kids, teaching, and nurturing their growth. I have hands-on experience working with children of all ages, from toddlers all the way up to early teens. I pride myself on being incredibly patient, attentive, and responsible. In my free time, I am a very outgoing person who loves hiking and traveling. I am completely flexible and available for all hours, including last-minute backup care and weekend shifts. I look forward to meeting your family!

“Mia was so helpful and attentive to my son’s need. She followed the itinerary I provided, and did everything I asked. She is so sweet and understanding, my son LOVES HER! Already booking her again for the coming week. She is great 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."
