Hi, I'm Mary Anne! I have been a professional caregiver for infants, toddlers, young children and seniors for about 30 years, most recently as a nanny and home-based eldercare provider, and it’s been a joy! I am currently seeking a 30 to 40 hour a week ongoing position, and meanwhile, I am happy to accept one-time jobs. I have a strong college background in infant, child and adult development behind me, but my most important learning has come from those I’ve cared for! My aim is to be fully present with those I care for, tuned into their individual needs and interests, as well as moments where they might need support or challenge. I love learning what makes someone of any age “tick”, and in getting to really know someone and what makes for a harmonious and caring relationship for each individual. I respect those I care for as active participants in whatever’s happening, and I want to support them to make choices that are meaningful to them throughout their day, and to supplement that with drawing out their own unique interests to create interesting, meaningful days, often in new ways. I’m happy to support families with simple meal prep and light housekeeping or any other reasonable requests. . I’m happy to drive to outings, whether for fun, to get in touch with nature, for exercise or for errands, and to include pets in my care. I cared very successfully for my father during the nine years of his dementia journey, and love to serve folks with those needs. Overall, I delight in being a lifelong learner and would love to learn how I can serve your family! I have a comprehensive packet of information about my care work, including more letters of recommendation that I'm happy to email to you, so please ask me!
“To whom it may concern, From March 2022 to August 2022, Mary Anne Cutaia was our nanny for our two-year-old son when we decided that he just wasn’t ready quite yet for pre-school. Our son previously had a history of behavioral issues at preschool, and those have remarkably disappeared since his time with Mary Anne. (Usually 1-2 days per week, the daily note from school would indicate some difficulty he had; I haven't seen a single difficulty noted in the month that he's been back.) We felt safe leaving our son with Mary Anne each day, trusting that she would handle whatever came up. She also took the initiative to send us several photos each day that showed highlights of his activities. She shared her observations and interactions with him, as well as made suggestions based on her child development background. She respectfully worked with practical limit-setting and worked on ways to help him concentrate on eating vs throwing his food, thinking he was funny. She also supported and facilitated his play with other children during daily park trips and told us about other children that he played well with at the park, who might be suitable for play dates. She also recommended open-ended play materials specific to his play interests and introduced sensory-based play materials that helped him increase his ability to focus. And suggested preschool-aged books that supported empathy, choice-making, and more cooperative play skills. She also taught him to share with her and other children. Mary Anne was incredible with our son and helped teach him valuable lessons that have improved his time at his pre-school, and that will serve him as he grows. We very much appreciate Mary Anne and her help. Phoenix R. Titus 619-912-3121 [email protected]”
Hello my name is Michelle I’m currently 21, I have 2 baby sisters 12 and 7 that I have helped raise since I could remember. I’ve always loved kids ever since I was younger. One of my grandmas had a preschool while I was growing up so I would often help out when I was over. I currently have a German Shepard, 3 cats, and a bearded dragon right now so I definitely have a big heart and love for animals as well.❤️thank you so much for reading this and/or considering me to take care of your babies.
Hi, my name is Annel. I have 6+ years of experience in child care. I have helped amazing families with kids between ages 6 months-12 years old. I am seeking my next nanny opportunity. In addition to child care, I can also help with light house work, meal prep, and errands, I hope we can connect soon!
“Annel was wonderful! She watched my 8 month old son at the last minute when he was sick with a fever. She fed him his bottles and solids, changed his diapers, did nap time, took him on a walk, read books, played with him, etc. She was gentle and sweet especially since he was very fussy from being sick. Annel was on time, professional and respectful. I would absolutely recommend her!”
I live with my grandparents who fostered me with wisdom for my whole life and taught me the importance of empathy and a good work ethic. I have a genuine heart and love to work with children and am majoring in child development! I am a great person to care for cats as I have some myself and work closely with non profits and clubs when I was in high school! I currently am a preschool teacher but am looking for something new!
I’m a dedicated and hardworking mom with over 10 years of professional experience, bringing consistency, reliability, and a strong work ethic to everything I do. Over the years, I’ve developed solid problem-solving skills, the ability to adapt under pressure, and a commitment to getting the job done right. As a mother of four, I’ve learned how to balance responsibility, patience, and time management at a high level. Providing for my family has strengthened my sense of accountability and motivation, pushing me to grow both personally and professionally. I take pride in being dependable, leading by example, and maintaining a positive attitude even in challenging situations. I’m always looking for opportunities to continue learning, improving my skills, and building a stable, successful future for my family.

"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."
Michelle R., mom of two
"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."
Milena L., mom of two
"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."
Heather B., mom of two
