Yoselin $35 per hour for 1 child

I had the pleasure of working with a family for over seven years, caring for their children throughout many important stages of their lives. When I first began, I cared for their 3-year-old, their 9-year-old, and later helped care for their newborn. During my time with the family, I provided dependable and compassionate care, including overnight and live-in support whenever needed while the parents traveled out of town for work meetings in Sacramento. I always treated the children with patience, love, and responsibility, and I became someone the family could truly rely on. Although it was difficult to leave, I relocated and I am very grateful for the support and encouragement the family gave me throughout that decision. This is the reason behind my ongoing journey with being a nanny. Warm, dependable, and attentive nanny with hands-on experience caring for children of various ages. Known for creating a safe, structured, and loving environment where children feel comfortable and supported.

Hi, how are you ? I'm a warm and nurturing nanny with 10 years of experience working with kids from all ages looking for a new position starting soon. I have the covid and flu shot updated. I'm non-smoker and pet friendly. My last two jobs I was taking care of 1 baby girl 6mo, before that I was taking care of 2 little girls for 2 years in a great relationship, now they are 4 and 6yo so I have the experience in taking care of two kids at time. I love to help children learn and explore in a safe, warm, and joyful environment. My favorite activities are in the outdoors, take the kids to the playground, library, storytime, scramble, explore parks/gardens to do picnic and observe animals/nature every time the weather allows, organize playdates and every other appropriate activity that will help them improve their abilities. At home I love to have music around and encourage the kids to play on their owns to help them develop their imagination and independence but always around and participating too. I also enjoy games, puzzle, build with blocs, legos etc. I consider myself a very friendly, responsible, caring, kind and loving person. I am comfortable performing light housekeeping, meal prep, changing diapers and others negotiable duties. I'll be happy to provide references so please let me know if you would like to set up a time for a call to discuss the details. Hope to hear from you soon.

"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."
