Jessica $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jessica, I'm 24 years old, and I'm currently earning my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, specializing in LMFT/LPCC to become a therapist. I have classes in the evenings, so I'm available during early mornings and afternoons. I've been babysitting since I was 13 and have worked as a full-time nanny for four children, so caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I bring an empathetic, patient, and nurturing approach to everything I do. I live a very active, healthy lifestyle - I love working out, going on walks or hikes, cooking, and spending time outdoors. I'm dependable, always on time (usually early!), and bring a positive, outgoing energy to any environment. I truly love helping others and creating a fun, safe, and supportive atmosphere wherever I go.

Jill $35 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Menlo Park, CA

My most recent and current experience is working as a nanny/private tutor for a 4-yr-old for the past year. I’ve given him afternoon lessons in the 3Rs, art and piano, as well as managed playtime, exercise and meals. I previously nannied for a little girl since her 8th month. I love children of all ages and feel equally well equipped to manage any age and/or multiple children. I enjoy cooking healthy meals and exercising with my son. I’m an avid reader and delight in reading storybooks to kids and engaging them in meaningful playtime activities or tutoring as necessary. I come from a large, close-knit family with 4 siblings all 2 years apart in age. I’ve been raising children through family obligations, babysitting gigs, and my own child (now 16 yrs) my entire life. I also have significant training and experience in healthcare and senior care. I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aid. I’ve worked in hospital and home settings. I have an MBA and previously worked in the biotech/pharma and technology transfer industries for 20+ years. I’m looking to make a transition in pursuit of a better work-life balance at this stage of life. I’m looking for a stable family where I can become part an integral part of the fabric of daily life ensuring everyone’s day runs smoothly, happily and healthfully. My undergraduate degree in psychology (with honors) illustrates my lifelong interest in human behavior and child development. I continue to maintain an energetic personality and commitment to lifelong learning.

"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."
