I bring over 30 years of real-life, hands-on experience supporting families, homes, children, and seniors. I am the proud mother of six children, all grown and thriving, whom I homeschooled with care, patience, and intention. Being a mom is my greatest joy, and caregiving is truly second nature to me. I’ve also successfully raised two dogs and a cat, so I understand the dynamics of busy, loving households and feel very comfortable in them. In addition to parenting, I spent many years working as a house manager, where I supported families by keeping their homes organized, running smoothly, and stress-free. I see myself as an extension of your family—someone who steps in to assist where needed, whether that’s childcare, senior care, household chores, or day-to-day support. I’m dependable, adaptable, and proactive, with a strong understanding of how homes function best when care and structure work together. I have professional experience in home health care with seniors and approach elder care with compassion, dignity, and respect. I’m comfortable assisting with daily needs, companionship, light household tasks, and creating a calm, supportive environment. I truly value caring for people at every stage of life. With children, I’m patient and attentive, and I take time to understand how each child learns and processes information so I can help bring out their best—academically, emotionally, and creatively. I enjoy crafts, sewing my own clothes, and hands-on activities, and I love introducing children to meaningful skills and creativity. I also enjoy preparing wholesome foods, including making homemade organic fruit roll-ups from scratch. I’m very comfortable around dogs and horses—my children grew up around horses—and while I’m slightly allergic to cats, I have owned one and manage it well. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, experienced, nurturing, and capable caregiver who truly loves supporting families and homes, I would be honored to work with you. For more than seven years, I’ve worked closely with senior citizens, including patients living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and truly understanding each individual’s needs. I’m quick-thinking, naturally witty, and able to adjust seamlessly in challenging moments, which allows me to connect easily, de-escalate situations, and provide care with both professionalism and heart.

Hello! My name is Cameron. I moved out here from Boston a few years ago and am excited to meet your family! Previously, I studied music therapy at Berklee College of Music before coming here to pursue music. I am offering child care, senior care, and pet care. During my music therapy studies, I focused on helping children with communication and social skills, and seniors with cognitive ability and memory care. I’m passionate about helping people of all ages express themselves and learn. I’ve been babysitting for various families in my hometown since my early teens, and love spending time with children. My responsibilities included driving kids to and from school, performing household duties, tutoring (any subject but math 😅), crafts, and music lessons. I have also taken care of my grandparents and great grandparents and feel very comfortable around seniors. Before she passed, I loved playing jazz songs for my great grandma and listening to stories from her past. I also have a dog and multiple cats, and would be happy to help you with any pet related needs. Please reach out if you feel that I would be a good fit for your family. I’m wishing you luck on your hunt for a caregiver!

“My 5 year old son had a great time playing with Cameron! Lots of fun imaginative play. ”

I prioritize arts and active play, with minimal to no television (except when necessary to soothe children). I teach kids yoga, and I like to teach them about nutritious food which improves their mood. I have 38 years experience caring for kids and I'm a mom myself. I'm an Ivy league graduate who specializes in child development and conflict resolution.

“Michele was great! She was very nice and great with my kids! Will definitely be using her again.”

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
