💛 Experienced Nanny – Specializing in Infants, Twins & Nanny Share 💛 Hello! My name is Aranza, and I’m a professional nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children. For the past few years, I’ve worked closely with two families of twins, which gave me strong skills in handling double routines, feeding, sleep schedules, and early development activities. I feel confident, calm, and organized even in busy households, and I truly enjoy working with little ones in their first years of life. I'm currently looking for a full-time nanny position, and I’m also open to nanny share opportunities with babies of similar age. 🍼 What I offer: * Deep experience with newborns, toddlers, and twins * Confident handling more than one baby at a time * I follow each family’s preferences for feeding (BLW, purees, bottles), sleep routines, and general care * Fun, creative, and age-appropriate play * Pediatric CPR certified * Fluent in English and Spanish * Pet-friendly * Valid California Driver’s License, clean driving record, and my own car * Fully vaccinated (COVID and others) 🌼 About me: I’m warm, patient, and reliable. Families describe me as loving and organized. I care for little ones with calm, consistency, and lots of heart. I’d love to hear how I can support your family!

Aranza is reliable, professional, communicative and trustworthy. She started watching our son when he was 10 months old. From the beginning she asked a lot of questions about his personality, developmental stage and routine. She is kind and very engaging when it comes to playtime. She always keeps us updated on how things are going. 10/10 we would recommend her for child care services.

"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."
