Mikenzie $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Mikenzie, I’m 23 years old and currently looking for a new nanny opportunity! I have 6 years of experience working with children, along with my Lead Teacher and CPR certifications through the State of Delaware. I have experience caring for children from newborn through school age. I have completed several years of college coursework for Early Childhood/Elementary Education, as well as continuous ECE trainings each year. For the past 4 years, I worked in an early education center as the lead teacher in the 12–18 month classroom. I transitioned back into nannying this year, which I absolutely love! I’m looking for a family that I can truly become a part of and build a strong, trusting relationship with both the children and parents. I value open communication and want parents to feel comfortable knowing their little ones are safe, happy, and well cared for. I LOVE planning crafts, sensory activities, hands-on learning, walks, playground trips, library trips, and fun days at home! I’m also happy to help with children’s meals, light tidying, children’s laundry, and other household tasks that help make the family’s day a little easier. I’m interested in full-time hours, but ideally I would love to work 3–4 longer days per week. My rate is $28-$32/hr depending on the number/ages of children and responsibilities. I’m very flexible and would love to find a schedule and rate that works well for the right family! If you or someone you know is looking for a loving, dependable nanny, please comment or message me! I’d be happy to send over my resume and chat more about what you’re looking for. 🤍

"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."
