Hi! I’m Mariana, a warm, caring, and reliable nanny with 9+ years of experience caring for infants, toddlers, children and teens. I love helping families feel supported and at ease, and I enjoy creating a joyful, nurturing environment where children can learn, explore, and express themselves through arts and crafts, singing, dancing, storytelling, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning moments. I’ve worked as a nanny in the U.S. for almost 8 years in both home and daycare settings, supporting daily routines, meals and hygiene, learning activities, and safe, engaging play. Families describe me as patient, dependable, flexible, and easygoing and I truly see working with children as a gift that fills my life with curiosity, kindness, and joy. Thanks for reading my profile. I look forward to meeting your family and helping your children grow, learn, and feel loved in a safe, happy environment! 💛

“We had a wonderful experience with her! She was warm, kind, and gentle with our baby, and we really appreciated how proactive and attentive she was. She asked thoughtful questions about our preferences and how we usually care for our baby, while also being very receptive to following our routines and the way we like things done. She was easy to communicate with, and we felt very comfortable having her care for our baby. We would absolutely love to hire her again!”

"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."
