I'd describe myself as calm, I'm patient, and self less. I enjoy taking care of children, because kids are fun, they always have something funny or "out of the blue" to say, they carefree and just enjoy life. There's always something one can learn from a child, they are the best humans to take care of and even spend time with. I am looking for a healthy environment as a working space. Where communication can flow easily, critics are well understood. And clear expectations from both family and myself I started working with kids when I was a teenager, I have 10year experience. I was an au pair for the past year. In my spare time, I either watch television or read a book. I take pride in all the kids I watch because at the it is a reflection of me too. And I am currently taking a Montessori course, to improve my childcare skills My patience for kids is my number one and best skill. I very attentive and always at the top of my feet. The child is the biggest priority

“Charlene is a wonderful sitter/nanny! She arrives promptly. She does an amazing job with our little one. We’re so blessed to receive her childcare services!”

Whether the help you need are recurring days or just random days I would love to help. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested if you are interested, I'd be happy to answer any more questions you may have. thanks so much Denny

“Stop right here and hire Denny if looking for reliability, true nanny professionalism, and genuine care for the children she cares for. We are a family with two toddler girls and we were struggling to find a reliable nanny. We hired Denny and never looked back- she was with us for two years and we had several trial babysitter nanny experiences before finding her on urbansitter. She is experienced and has been the only reliable and trustworthy childcare candidate we have found in our area. As a mother herself and long time nanny, she sees things that I didn’t and ALWAYS accommodated our family with our wild schedule. She was truly a God sent and we will miss her dearly. She is definitely family and my girls love the Spanish they learned with her. Denny has reliable transportation and did not have any other factors preventing her from committing 100% to our needs.”

Hello families! I am a patient, responsible, and caring caregiver with more than ten years of experience caring for and supporting children, seniors, and families. As a mother, I understand how important safety, patience, and trust are. I can help with meal preparation, grocery shopping, errands, companionship, walks, transportation to medical appointments, and daily routines. I enjoy reading, outdoor activities, music, and creating a calm and positive environment for children. I am also comfortable with pets. I speak Persian and English, have reliable transportation, and hold a current First Aid certification. My background in customer service, education, photography, and community work has helped me become organized, dependable, creative, and respectful toward people from different cultures and backgrounds. I listen carefully to each family’s needs and always treat children, seniors, and their families with kindness and respect.

Hi, there! I am an authentically enthusiastic, welcoming, & dedicated experiential education professional, skilled in making joyful and meaningful connections with others, particularly children & youth. I have over 20 years experience working with children and youth in outdoor education, 3.5 years experience as a private nanny (ages 1-4), and 13 years experience as a mom (successfully raising 2 children since birth). :-) I have a B.A. and M.S. in Recreation (with a focus on youth programming), I have an active Wilderness First Responder certification (advanced medical training), and I drive groups of students regularly for outdoor excursions. I am equally passionate about outdoor education and early childhood development, so nature play/exploration is an integral part of my nanny care! Outdoor education focuses on learning through experience, saying “yes” to try, and being curious about the world around us. I am creative, dedicated, easy-going, and a self-starter yet love working as a team. In addition to outdoor exploration, I integrate songs, art, baking, and field trips (e.g., zoos) into my work with children, and I bring a global perspective of having visited 17 countries. I would love to explore this opportunity to work with you and your precious little one(s)!

I have 11 years of solid experience caring for children ages 0-17. I have learned the importance of providing children structure through my years of nannying and caretaking. In addition, I have hands-on experience nannying multiple infants and toddlers at a time. I am 100% comfortable providing adequate structure, age appropriate interaction and activities, safe play, healthy eating and resting. I have worked with students who have IEP's during the day, as well as taught at an elementary school in multiple after school programs, and provided therapy for children with autism. I have taught classes such as dance, painting, drawing, STEM/STEAM, and an academic excellence class. I have taught these classes for children in pre-school up to fifth grade. I recently was a preschool teacher at a Montessori school and have a daughter as well. She is a 6 year old.

"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."
