20+ years of professional experience & ECE Degree. I am safe, loving and love to teach and help children explore. Some things of importance to me as a person/nanny are freedom, transparency, quality time, positivity and encouragement both things I give and like to receive. I am open minded and have been told my communication skills are sincerely appreciated. I enjoy making up new stimulating activities for children of all ages, and diving into their world with them! I take a customized approach based on how your child learns and likes/dislikes, I love being goofy 😜 . I don’t believe in ā€˜forcing’ anything and love to create a strong bond of mutual respect and trust . I practice positive discipline regardless of age or situation and don’t believe in hitting or yelling belittling/shaming and will ONLY raise my voice if it’s keeping your little one away from danger (fire,cars, sharp objects). I can cook, meal prep, run errands, laundry, I love cleaning but your child will ALWAYS be my number one priority! I’ve always been expected to tidy/clean whilst caring for little ones so I build that into my routine (often talking your child through it with me or having them help me with small tasks) I do have experience with special diets (soy free/gluten free/dairy free, vegan/vegatarian, halal) and allergies. First hand Epi pen experience. Experience with seizures ā™¾ļøšŸ§©Physical disability, Anxiety, extensive Autism & ADHD experience! Positivity, Safety, creating a bond of trust with you and your child(ren), singing & dancing! Genuinely engaging your child in stimulating activities such as art and music , creative play, walking in nature, reading and writing , celebrating your child’s wins no matter how big or small, and just letting kids be kids is what I’m all about. šŸ˜‰ *Cleaning & Organizing Aficionado* šŸŽØArts & Crafts Guru who will bring supplies for special projects. šŸŽ¤ I love singing and will often use music as a tool for daily activities that your child may struggle with. šŸš— Access to reliable vehicle Acura TL or Honda Accord (insured) 🧼 šŸ«¶šŸ¼ washing hands frequently 🩺 Infant CPR certification expired but will renew it upon request. * IF IM IN DOUBT ON WHAT YOUR WISHES WOULD BE IN ā€˜XYZ’ SITUATION I WILL CONTACT YOU IMMEDIATELY & if not available then use my best judgement.

Hi -My name is Gladys. I’ve been working with kids since I was 15 and I have enjoyed getting to know each different kid. I started by watching my little brothers and sister and quickly learned that I had a talent for connecting with kids. I began watching kids around my neighborhood and even achieved a CPR certificate.

ā€œGladys has been our full time nanny since January. She has cared for our three children (11, 9, and 5) wonderfully. She has navigated crazy morning routines, a child with high anxiety, and lots of afterschool activities. She is patient with our children, keeps them on schedule and has been very engaging during the day with our youngest. She has a wonderful network of nannies in our area and set up play dates with other children and our son. She is very friendly, on time, and flexible. She has brought her daughter with and that has not impacted her ability to care for our children - in fact they absolutely adore her! We are sad to see Gladys go, but our kids will all be in full time school starting in the fall.ā€

Short break from teaching! I am fully open all week. I’m flexible every other weekend. HI! I’m AJ and my pronouns are they/them. I am a 31-old open minded and patient person with over 15 years of experience. I hold a Bachelors degree in Environmental Sciences, a Masters in Education, and I teach High School science full time. I specialize in racial minority groups, LGBTQIA+ families, foster/adoptive families, newborns, and multiples but I have experience in just about all things childcare including overnights. My mom has owned a daycare and been a foster care parent for my entire life. I have years of experience with children of all ages and from all backgrounds. As my mother's direct assistant I am licensed with DCFS and certified in early childhood courses through Gateways. My wife and I have a wide variety of animals at home and am able to provide care for any pets present in the homes I work in. I enjoy going outside and walking, making sure to keep the children engaged. I also have experience as a summer camp counselor and a special education paraprofessional. My wife and I are foster parents and we love welcoming new kiddos into our family. Lastly, I am CPR/First Aid certified, up to date on all vaccines including COVID and I have received the booster as well. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out!

"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."
