Hi families! My name is Jeannette, and I’m a loving, caring, and compassionate nanny with over 15 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve dedicated my life to nurturing and supporting children of all ages—from newborns and toddlers to school-aged kids and preteens. I bring warmth, patience, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. My childcare journey began in high school as a part-time nanny, and since then, I’ve worked in Early Head Start programs, cared for children with special needs, and supported families with everything from daily routines to overnight care. I am CPR and first aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and currently work full-time as a Special Education Classroom Assistant in a public school. During summers, weekends, and evenings, I continue to nanny for wonderful families who need an extra set of loving hands. I’m energetic, creative, and love engaging kids in developmentally appropriate play, outdoor adventures, arts and crafts, and learning activities. I take pride in building trusting relationships with children and their parents and always strive to create a safe, joyful, and supportive environment. Whether you need part-time care, backup help, summer coverage, or a reliable sitter for date nights, I’m here to help. I understand how important it is to find someone you can count on—and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. Thank you for considering me to care for your little ones. I look forward to meeting you and becoming a trusted part of your child’s life! Warmly, Jeannette

She’s also so friendly, kind, and wonderful to work with. I’m so glad I had the chance to meet her and experience her services. I highly recommend Jeannette to anyone looking for a reliable and fantastic cleaner!”

"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."
