Kristen 1 review
$40 per hour for 1 child

With 18 years of experience caring for children of all ages, I truly love what I do. Building meaningful bonds with kids and meeting them exactly where they are is one of my greatest strengths. Organization is my superpower, and I use it to create calm, structured environments where children feel safe, supported, and able to thrive. I'm compassionate, patient, reliable, and creative, always thinking of engaging ways to help children reach their milestones while having fun. I also love supporting families as a whole and helping out wherever I can to make daily life run more smoothly. I'm excited to meet the next family I'll be working with, whether it be as a nanny or as a family assistant. If chosen as a family assistant, my rate is different, and I'm happy to chat about it when we meet. Please note that I am allergic to cats and most dogs.

“Kristen was our nanny for over five years, and we can't recommend her highly enough. She's part of our family, and both of our kids adore her. Any family who books her is lucky to have her. Kristen has 20 years of experience with children from infancy through grade school. She quickly picks up a family's routines and parenting style, so kids feel safe and parents feel at ease. She's warm, engaging, and meets each child at their level. Expect lots of reading, dance parties, and trips to the park. Kristen is reliable, communicates clearly, and keeps parents in the loop. She handles meals, clean-up, and bedtime without being asked, and the house is always tidy when you get home. Whether you need a date-night sitter, after-school help, or a last-minute backup, Kristen is the person you want.”

"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."
