$30 per hour for 1 child

About Me I’m 33 years old and originally from Brazil. I have a psychology degree in my country and I have several years of childcare experience in both the United States and Brazil. I began caring for children at a young age within my own family. I was 12 years old when my younger sister was born, and I actively helped my family with her care through all stages of her development. I also had experience with children of different ages during my psychology internship in college until I moved to the US at the age of 26 after my graduation to participate in an exchange program, where I worked as an au pair. Experience 6+ years of experience with children of different ages. After completing the program, I continued working as a nanny for other families. My Responsibilities & Skills My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, children’s laundry, meal preparation (I truly enjoy cooking), and planning engaging activities. Arts and crafts are my favorites! I am loving, patient, responsible, flexible, and a confident driver. I am also a strong swimmer. I am currently looking for a part-time or full-time position. I am also available for babysitting and date nights. I would be happy to do a trial day to see if there is a good fit. I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your children.

“Samara is the best with little ones! With three kids under 5, she’s amazing at handling the chaos and the kids absolutely love her. We call her whenever we’re in a bind, school is out, or we need a date night. She’s reliable, flexible, and I always feel completely comfortable leaving the kids with her. Highly recommend!”

"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."
