Naz 2 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have extensive experience caring for children from infancy through 10+ years old, as well as experience working with children in a school environment. My background as a harpist and artist allows me to engage creatively with kids through music, imaginative play, and hands-on activities. I love teaching, spending time outdoors, making snacks, helping with household chores, and being playful and silly with the children I care for. I’m warm, attentive, reliable, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for families.

“Naz helped care for my daughter Rumi from the time she was 1 year old until 3.5 years old on an as-needed basis, and she was truly wonderful with her. She is incredibly gentle, patient, reliable, and responsive, and always created a calm, nurturing environment around Rumi. What stood out most to me was how naturally caring and attentive she is with children. Rumi absolutely adored spending time with her. Naz brought so much creativity and warmth into their time together through music, play, art, and outdoor activities. She also has a very grounded and calming presence, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Rumi in her care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Naz to any family looking for someone trustworthy, kind, engaging, and genuinely excellent with children.”

Hi, my name is Jacqueline, and I’m a 25-year-old educator currently working as a K/1 Special Education teacher with LAUSD. I have been working with children since I was 16 and bring a wide range of experience supporting children with diverse needs and personalities. My background includes working as a private tutor for two children on the autism spectrum, a long-term nanny for twin boys on the spectrum, a part time nanny for two children, and a behavior therapist/interventionist for six years. Through these roles, I’ve gained hands-on experience with children on the spectrum, infants, twins, and families who prefer limited or no screen time. I also have experience providing overnight care and am comfortable with sleep routines and extended supervision. In addition, I’ve taken children on full-day outings to places like amusement parks, local parks, and the movies, always ensuring they are safe, engaged, and having fun. I am also experienced in picking up and dropping off children at school and extracurricular activities, and I have a reliable vehicle. I hold a degree in Psychology, am CPR certified, fully vaccinated, and am fluent in Spanish. I understand that trusting someone with your child is a big decision. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I strive to support each child’s individual needs while building a positive and trusting relationship with both children and parents. I would love the opportunity to work with your family. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to connecting with you! Thank you for your consideration.

Hello, wonderful families! My name is Karlene, and I’m a 36-year-old career nanny with 17 years of childcare experience and 11 years of housekeeping expertise. I would love the opportunity to apply for your position! Throughout my career, I’ve cared for children ranging in age from 1 month to 16 years, including preemies, twins, multiple siblings, and nanny shares. I specialize in key developmental milestones such as sleep training, baby-led weaning, and potty training. Childcare has always been my passion, and my journey began when I helped care for my nephew many years ago. Since then, my love for nurturing and supporting children has only grown stronger. In addition to childcare, I bring extensive experience in household management. I have successfully managed homes with up to three stories and over 10 rooms, ensuring everything runs smoothly with little to no supervision. My housekeeping skills include meal preparation for a variety of dietary needs, including vegetarian, kosher, and nut-free meals. I’m also happy to assist with meal prep as needed. I take pride in being active and engaging with children. I love organizing arts and crafts, helping with homework, and supporting after-school activities such as soccer, swimming, baseball, and football. I’m also skilled in handling school pick-ups and drop-offs, preparing lunches, snacks, and dinners, and ensuring children have a fun and structured day. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, baking, hiking, swimming, camping, and staying active with sports. I am CPR/AED certified, giving families peace of mind when it comes to safety. I’m currently seeking a full-time or part-time, long-term position with the right family. If you think we’d be a good match or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and your family! Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Karlene

"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."
