Hello! My name is Anna Parente, and I have over 6 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I am a warm, reliable, and patient caregiver who loves helping children learn, grow, and feel safe. My experience includes newborn care, infant feeding, diaper changes, sleep routines, tummy time, developmental activities, meal preparation, light housekeeping, and school-age care. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have worked as both a nanny and overnight newborn caregiver. In addition, I am a Certified Postpartum Doula and Certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), which gives me specialized training in newborn care, feeding support, sleep routines, and supporting families during the postpartum period. I am based in Redwood City and serve families throughout the Bay Area. I look forward to connecting with your family and learning how I can help! 🩵

“We were looking for a caretaker for taking care of our 10 month old daughter for a month, before she started day care. Fortunately for us and our daughter, we ended up meeting Anna through urbansitter. Anna is extremely loving, sincere, hardworking and responsible. She quickly ramped up to our daughter's schedule, in a matter of 1-2 days. She was always on time, flexible when we needed her for a couple of extra hours during the end of the day. Within a matter of 1 week, she gained our complete trust. Her responsibilities included watching over our daughter, keeping her engaged, feeding her milk and solids, putting her for her day naps, laundry. Aside from these she would also proactively help us with some minor chores. She also keeps her environment very clean and organized. We also have a 2 year old dog who is extremely playful and loving. Anna was super friendly with our dog too. Overall, I would highly recommend her for families out there. The only reason we couldn't continue with her was because our daughter started day care.”

"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."
