Hello! I have been nannying for 13 years. I am 34 years old and I have worked with all kinds of families and learned a lot from them. I also have experience in housekeeping as well. I’m passionate about media and worked on a children’s tv show on Apple TV+ for the last year and a half. Working with children has taught me a lot about people and how to learn from others. I studied writing for television and producing so I'm always willing to embrace creativity and encourage others to learn and take chances. I have done after school care, overnight care and date night sitting as well! I am looking for full time/part time and date nights around 15-40 hours a week and 20-25 an hr. I would love to speak to you!

“Taeryn is amazing. My son absolutely loved his time with her. While he is often shy the first time meeting someone, he wasn’t at all with her, and warmed up to her immediately. Highly recommended! ”

Selene $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m 19 and a mom to a 5-month-old baby boy. I have several years of hands-on childcare experience from helping care for my four younger siblings, including overnight care, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines and responsibilities. I’m experienced with feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, and bathing, and I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and caring environment for children. I’m patient, reliable, and friendly, and while I can be a little shy at first, I warm up quickly and build strong, trusting connections. I also have experience working in a nursing home setting, which has given me skills in supporting others with care, patience, and respect. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, laundry, and small errands to make things easier for families. I’m available for local, in-home opportunities and am reliable with transportation within my area. I may also be open to bringing my baby along if a family is comfortable, as it can provide a positive and social environment for both children. I take pride in being dependable and someone families can trust, and I’d love to help make your day a little easier.

"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."
