Hello, my name is Thida. I’m originally from Thailand and currently in school, looking for a part-time nanny position, ideally around 12–15 hours per week during weekdays, with availability for date nights or weekends as well. A flexible schedule would be wonderful, as my availability will depend on my class schedule, but I will always provide advance notice. I have over 10 years of full-time nanny experience caring for children from newborns to 12 years old. I’m available for school or camp pick-ups, childcare, and helping families with flexible scheduling needs. I have updated CPR and First Aid certifications, up-to-date vaccinations, and my own reliable transportation. I’m kind, fun, trustworthy, reliable, and truly enjoy working with children and supporting families. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you!

“Thidarut was wonderful with our son! We will definitely use her again! She was very flexible with our unpredictable schedules!”

I love to guide children’s passions and curiosities. It is so rewarding developing their identity and their independence along side them. I am an extroverted song and dance type, which children find fascinating. I love to get them out of their shells. It creates trust to express yourself openly and helps build a secure attachment In my previous classrooms, Ive gladly practiced Positive Discipline. Which involves understanding and support, never shaming or humiliating. As well as treating children with respect and acknowledging their feelings/ perspectives. If caregivers foster a respectful environment, it models healthy communication. It teaches children to express themselves constructively. I have passionately and extensively learned hands on to be an Early Childhood Ed Teacher. I hold a pysch degree in Human Development with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education. However, I prefer private childcare. I enjoy the freedom of creating and scaffolding without regulation. I enjoy catering personalized activities. I also create more intimate bonds through zeroed in focus, and typically am in their lives longer. *I have most recently worked long term infant jobs. I was lucky enough to enjoy the company of the families long term. I love working with children from infant to preschool. * I taught primary at an AMI certified Montessori school. (Combined 3-6 yr olds.) Previously, I taught toddlers and infants at Highland Academy. * 10+ years experience with 0-8 yr olds in classroom and home environments, *I am state certified in First Aid/ infant, standard CPR/Blood Safety. * Experience in relaxation techniques/ separation anxiety, language development, interpersonal communication, autism, speech therapy, occupational therapy, muscular dystrophy, potty training, behavioral challenges, & sexual predator safety. *I have wonderful mentors and references- please contact them! *I also do manicures, make believe, bug hunting, dress up, science experiments, and fancy hair. :-) LGBTQ+ advocate.

“We have used Tamara many times to look after our 2 young boys. She is always punctual, flexible when timings change and my kids always feel instantly comfortable with her!”

10+ years of professional nannying experience with infant - teenagers. Travel nanny, overnight care, outings, and more! I have been with my family’s long term (2 years, over 5 years, 1.5 years, 1.5 years through present). Along with babysitting for regulars. I was with my longest nanny family for over 5 years and have them as a reference, along with other families I’ve worked for.

“Terin was great! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to be our first official babysitter. I’ve left my 2 1/2 year old with family members and his daycare provider but wasn’t sure how he would do and he warmed up very quickly to her. She’s great with the little ones and I appreciated her checking in with me through text messages. Very good communication!”

"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."
