Hi! My name is Alexandra and I have worked in child care and with kids for over 4 years! I have worked at a preschool for over 3 years and worked as a nanny over the summer!

Shirin $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shirin. I’m a warm, patient, and reliable caregiver with hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I spent nearly a year as a full-time nanny for two boys (ages 7 and 12), managing their daily routines, preparing meals, and planning fun educational activities that kept them engaged and growing. Before that, I spent over three years as an English teacher for young children (ages 4–7) at a kindergarten, where I created lesson plans, built nurturing classroom environments, and helped little ones develop a love of learning. I also volunteered abroad teaching Math and English to children aged 5–7 through an international program. Beyond childcare, I bring strong organizational skills, a calm and positive attitude, and genuine care for the families I work with. I’m fluent in English and Russian, which can be a bonus in multilingual households. I’m responsible, punctual, and truly enjoy being a supportive presence in children’s lives. I’d love to meet your family and learn how I can help! 😊

"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."
