Sally $45 per hour for 1 child

For 15 years, I had the privilege of serving one wonderful family in a multi-faceted role as a full-time nanny, private chef, family assistant, personal assistant, and house manager. I helped raise two children, one of whom is on the the autism spectrum, working closely with teachers, behavioral therapists, and psychiatrists to help ensure consistency and the best possible support. My approach to children centers on understanding each child's individuality, creating a safe, respectful, and encouraging environment. Beyond childcare, I take pride in running an organized and welcoming household, managing everything from meal planning and private chef services to scheduling, errands, and anticipating the day-to-day needs of a busy family. Known for my warmth, creativity, and strong work ethic, I aim to become a trusted extension of any family I serve, someone parents can rely on and children can feel comfortable with. I'd be honored to bring that same dedication and compassion to your family.

Mariele $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I have over 10 years of experience helping single parents to busy high profile households with 4 kids. Their ages ranges from new borns to 13! I’m most comfortable caring for children 2 and up. Experience: - 4 years as an executive assistant - 8 years + as personal assistant - 14 years of nanny and babysitting - pet care + school pick up and drop off - happy to run errands and schedule activities as well. I’m looking for part time work until the end of the school year or provide any on call babysitter needs :) I love the family I’m working for now but they are sorting out their next move since they lost their home from the fires.

"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."
