Hello! My name is Dina, I love children and believe they are such a blessing. I’m playful with the little ones and adore cuddles with infants. I have recent and extended experience with both. I have part time, full time, occasional and overnight availability. My experience has been with all ages for over 25 years. Five of those years, my experience have been working at a non-profit organization as a child care provider with all ages, including twins! My preference is working for families who offer long term positions. One word that describes me is reliable, I’m extremely reliable and you can rest assured that you can depend on me. I’m also looking for a family that will offer guaranteed hours. I am also up to date with Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED / American Red Cross. Thank you and blessings on your search! Dina

“Dina was really wonderful - she has a calming presence and was great with my 3 year old daughter. I hope to use Dina as a nanny in the future!”

Hi! My name is Amanda. I have over 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I always strive to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I have experience with daily routines, including bottle feeding, introducing solids, meal preparation, nap schedules, bath time, and bedtime routines. I understand the importance of consistency and always do my best to follow each family’s preferences and parenting style. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going to parks, reading books, playing games, and planning age-appropriate activities that help children learn and grow while having fun. I am responsible, patient, reliable, and caring. I speak both English and Portuguese, and references are available upon request. Feel free to reach out if you think we might be a good fit!

“Amanda was great with our 9-month old! She was very attentive, caring and playful with him. She showed up on time, was very courteous and respectful of our family rules, and did more than what she was asked to do for our baby! She was very easy to talk to as well. We highly recommend her!”

"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."
