- CPR/First Aid Certified - Love infants-older children & pets - Last minute or planned jobs! - French/other academic tutoring & sports - Happy to help with cleaning, cooking, feeding, driving, playing (inside or out), bathing I absolutely love teaching and taking care of children. I have been babysitting, caretaking, and tutoring for 15+ years and have a super flexible schedule, making it easy for parents to avoid rigid timing expectations. I have my own car and an abundance of energy to pour into your kiddos! I speak French conversationally and enjoy any academic or other learning/sports/activities you would like them to work on. Engaging in a way that they’re seen, heard, and valued is something I delight in and prioritize. I value any opportunity to serve children or parents and have worked in directing children's programs, as a nanny, and as a babysitter all throughout the years. I have experience with newborns, toddlers, and kids of all ages as I regularly take care of children.

“Maggie has been helping us out fora year and a half. She has become a wonderful friend to us and our children. We highly recommend her.”

Danielle $50 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Danielle, a professional nanny with over 13 years of experience caring for children from 3 months through the early school years. I take a Montessori-inspired approach, which for me means following a child's curiosity, building steady routines, and getting outside as much as possible. I love the everyday things: sensory play, messy art, reading the same book fourteen times in a row. I'm CPR and Pediatric First Aid certified, TrustLine registered, and I hold a B.S. in Psychology. I'm looking for a long-term family where I can be a consistent, warm presence in your children's lives. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, studying languages, reading, and writing fiction.

I am a caring, responsible, and energetic childcare provider who genuinely loves working with children. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from 1-month-old infants to older kids, including twins and multiple children at the same time. One of the things I enjoy most is playing with children and becoming a kid alongside them. I love exploring their world, using imagination, discovering new things together, and creating fun, meaningful experiences. Whether it’s through games, music, arts and crafts, reading, outdoor activities, or creative play, I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun while feeling safe and supported. I strive to create a nurturing, engaging, and positive environment where children can develop confidence, curiosity, and happiness. I am patient, organized, dependable, and committed to supporting each child’s well-being and development. I hold a degree in Social Communication and Journalism, with a specialization in Digital Communication and Interactive Media. I also have excellent references that reflect my dedication, professionalism, and strong work ethic. Currently, I am studying English and can also introduce children to Spanish in a fun and natural way. I enjoy cooking and maintaining clean, organized spaces to help create a comfortable and positive environment for both children and families. My goal is to ensure your children are happy, safe, and well cared for while giving you complete peace of mind, knowing they are spending their time with someone who genuinely enjoys sharing, learning, exploring, and having fun with them every day.

Hi! I'm Vanessa. I recently completed my Early Childhood Education program and have experience working with both preschool and school-age children. I love creating a fun, safe, and caring environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Outside of work, I also help care for my three nephews, so being around children has always been a big part of my life. I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and have fun!

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
