Carolina $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a college student currently working toward my CNA certification and I am CPR and BLS certified. I have experience working with children, including kids with special needs, and I truly love creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for them. My goal as I continue in nursing is to work with infants, but I am happy caring for children of all ages. I enjoy helping with homework, doing art and creative activities, and even baking with kids if parents are comfortable with that. With toddlers, I like to introduce simple ASL signs to help them communicate their needs and feelings more easily. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive, and I always focus on making children feel safe, heard, and cared for. I am also comfortable caring for pets as long as they are not aggressive, and I’m open to helping with house sitting and light household tasks when needed.

Hello! With over ten years of childcare experience and a strong background in both educational planning and household management, I am confident in my ability to provide a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for your child/children while supporting the smooth operation of your home. Over the past decade, I have cared for children in ages ranging from birth to 14 years, adapting to each child's unique developmental needs. I enjoy creating engaging lesson plans that combine fun with learning, helping children grown academically and socially. My approach blends creativity with structure, ensuring children feel both supported and stimulated in their daily activities. In addition to childcare, I am highly organised and skilled in managing household responsibilities. From light meal preparation and housekeeping to coordinating routines and maintaining a tidy home, I take pride in creating an enviroment where both children and parents can thrive. My goal is always to provide families with peace of mind, knowing their children are in capable and caring hands. As a 27-year-old professional, I bring maturity, reliability, and energy to the role. I am flexible, trustworthy, and committed to fostering a safe, positive, and enriching environment for children. I would love the opportunity to discuss how my experience and skills align with your family's needs.

Jacqueline $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Jacqueline, a warm, reliable, and professional nanny with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teens. I currently care for an 8-year-old boy about 10 hours a week and am looking to connect with more families. In the past, I’ve supported a busy household with four children (ages 2–11), helping with after-school care, bedtime routines, and date nights. I’ve also traveled with families and am comfortable with overnights. I have my own transportation and love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids. Excellent references available!

"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."
