Hi families! I’m Mikayla. ✨ For the last 9 years, I’ve had the privilege of nannying for a diverse range of families across the Bay Area. Navigating different household dynamics has taught me to be an incredibly tactful and well-rounded nanny. Alongside my 3 years of preschool classroom experience, I hold a degree in Psychology and Child Development. I am passionate about my field and take pride in directly applying my knowledge of child psychology to how I engage with, support, and care for children. I am fully ready to align with your family's unique routines and goals, while bringing a fun, safe, and enriching energy into your home.

"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."
