Maria $28 per hour for 1 child

About Me Hi! My name is Maria and I have over 5 years of experience working as a nanny. I truly enjoy caring for children and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. I have experience caring for children of different ages and can assist with daily routines, meal preparation, homework, transportation, bedtime, and engaging activities. I always strive to meet each child’s unique needs with patience and kindness. In addition to childcare, I also provide household assistance, including light housekeeping, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, and running errands. I am also comfortable caring for pets and making sure they receive the attention and care they need. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors. I love going to parks, relaxing at the beach, and participating in outdoor activities. I believe staying active and spending time in nature brings positive energy and creativity to every day. I am reliable, punctual, responsible, and attentive to each family’s individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable care and create a positive, trustworthy relationship with both children and parents. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

Brittany $23 per hour for 1 child

I'm the oldest of my family including 40 first cousins. Kids were always around when I was growing up, and I always loved to take care of my cousins. I also grew up out in the woods with tons of dogs, pet chickens, and I learned to care for animals from a young age. As I got older, I became the main caretaker for my nephew who is 3 and the rest of my family is a bit jealous of how he gravitates towards me. I have never lost that childhood love of play, and I think that is what makes me an amazing caretaker, I know how to get on a level playing field with a kid and make even the hardest tasks fun and challenging. I'm calm and easy to be around kind of person, and that calm energy is grounding for kids and pets alike. I also am a very clean person and I like to keep my environment as tidy as possible.

Heidi $28 per hour for 1 child

Hello Families, my name is Heidi, and although I'm new to this platform, I bring over 14 years of experience caring for children, consistently by word of mouth referrals from the positive experiences we all have shared. Having lived in this community for over 25 years, I’ve built strong, trusted relationships with families and schools. I understand that every family has its own approach, and I respect and support the values each household wants to instill. I genuinely enjoy being around children, their honesty, curiosity, and unique personalities, and I strive to nurture not only their growth and development, but also their confidence and sense of self. I’m attentive to detail and mindful of routines, and the little things that help children feel safe, supported, and understood. As a parent, I have raised my son (now 15), an honor student, and accomplished in sports. I’ve supported both his education, his creativity and athletic schedule while teaching the importance of honoring commitments and following through on responsibilities. I carry these same principles into the families I work with, always guided by each family’s own preferences, and instructions. I’m also a lifelong animal lover and have been caring for animals since childhood. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and other beloved pets, always treating them as cherished members of the family. Animals have brought so much joy, companionship, and meaning to my life, and caring for them has been one of my greatest pleasures. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every animal has its own unique personality, needs, and quirks, and deserves patience, compassion, and loving care. I am a positive person who is friendly, upbeat, reliable, and communicative, with strong attention to detail. I am CPR/AED/BLS & First Aid certified and a proactive caregiver who takes initiative and anticipates needs before they arise. I am respectful of each family’s home, property, privacy, and personal boundaries, and I understand the importance of discretion, particularly when working with professionals in demanding roles. I enjoy spending time with my husband and our son, reading, cooking, swimming, music, and encouraging a child’s natural interests, joy and creativity. I bring patience and respect to all whom have been entrusted into my care, recognizing that caring for your loved one is truly a privilege.

"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."
