Hi, I'm Mary Anne! I have been a professional caregiver for infants, toddlers, young children and seniors for about 30 years, most recently as a nanny and home-based eldercare provider, and it’s been a joy! I am currently seeking a 30 to 40 hour a week ongoing position, and meanwhile, I am happy to accept one-time jobs. I have a strong college background in infant, child and adult development behind me, but my most important learning has come from those I’ve cared for! My aim is to be fully present with those I care for, tuned into their individual needs and interests, as well as moments where they might need support or challenge. I love learning what makes someone of any age “tick”, and in getting to really know someone and what makes for a harmonious and caring relationship for each individual. I respect those I care for as active participants in whatever’s happening, and I want to support them to make choices that are meaningful to them throughout their day, and to supplement that with drawing out their own unique interests to create interesting, meaningful days, often in new ways. I’m happy to support families with simple meal prep and light housekeeping or any other reasonable requests. . I’m happy to drive to outings, whether for fun, to get in touch with nature, for exercise or for errands, and to include pets in my care. I cared very successfully for my father during the nine years of his dementia journey, and love to serve folks with those needs. Overall, I delight in being a lifelong learner and would love to learn how I can serve your family! I have a comprehensive packet of information about my care work, including more letters of recommendation that I'm happy to email to you, so please ask me!

“To whom it may concern, From March 2022 to August 2022, Mary Anne Cutaia was our nanny for our two-year-old son when we decided that he just wasn’t ready quite yet for pre-school. Our son previously had a history of behavioral issues at preschool, and those have remarkably disappeared since his time with Mary Anne. (Usually 1-2 days per week, the daily note from school would indicate some difficulty he had; I haven't seen a single difficulty noted in the month that he's been back.) We felt safe leaving our son with Mary Anne each day, trusting that she would handle whatever came up. She also took the initiative to send us several photos each day that showed highlights of his activities. She shared her observations and interactions with him, as well as made suggestions based on her child development background. She respectfully worked with practical limit-setting and worked on ways to help him concentrate on eating vs throwing his food, thinking he was funny. She also supported and facilitated his play with other children during daily park trips and told us about other children that he played well with at the park, who might be suitable for play dates. She also recommended open-ended play materials specific to his play interests and introduced sensory-based play materials that helped him increase his ability to focus. And suggested preschool-aged books that supported empathy, choice-making, and more cooperative play skills. She also taught him to share with her and other children. Mary Anne was incredible with our son and helped teach him valuable lessons that have improved his time at his pre-school, and that will serve him as he grows. We very much appreciate Mary Anne and her help. Phoenix R. Titus 619-912-3121 [email protected]”

Caring for children and making a positive impact is something I genuinely love. With over three years of experience caring for children of all ages, I aim to provide a nurturing and engaging environment for your little ones. I am comfortable caring for up to three children at a time and respect each family's unique routines and household rules. I enjoy planning age appropriate activities, including outdoor play, creative projects, and board games that encourage learning and connection. I communicate clearly and consistently, providing updates via text or phone call - or whatever method you prefer. With some college experience and a naturally calm, patient, and friendly personality, I aim to be a dependable and encouraging presence in your child's life. Supporting families by providing reliable, trustworthy childcare is deeply important to me, and I would love the opportunity to see if I'm the right fit for your family.

Nurturing children and witnessing their blossoming potential is my greatest joy. For the past nine years, I've dedicated myself to providing enriching childcare experiences. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I communicate with parents at pickup or through their preferred method. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. My days are filled with fun, from outdoor sports to board games and educational activities. I am comfortable caring for multiple children at a time. My background includes some college coursework, First Aid Training, CPR Training, and Early Child Development Coursework. I have a car, I'm comfortable with pets, and I'm happy to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. Supporting families and making a positive impact on children's lives is what I love most, and I look forward to bringing my passion and experience to your family.

My name is Gabriela but I go by Gabi. I'm from Brazil and I am looking for work such as nanny and babysittingt. I am a lovely, responsible and proactive person. I am hardworking and know how important it is to properly take care of children. I take my job very seriously! Most of my pst experience old kids but I have experiences with new born and kids under 10 years too. Communication is the key to anything in my opinion, I like to make things clear from the start so that everyone’s expectations are met and exceeded. Be honest and comfortable to have a conversation. Some facts about me: - I have more than 5000 hours of work as a nanny. - English and native Portuguese - I love music and drawing - I'm a great swimmer - I love sports surf and being outdoor - I am open-minded and respectful - I like hiking, beaches, camping and all activities related to nature. - I love all animals - I love spending time with family, friends and alone, time for everything. If you have any questions, send me an email to [removed] Thank you! 😄 Obs: you not gonna see any reviews from here because most the family who I worked I found on Facebook but I have good reviews and families can talk about me.

"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."
