Gabriella $27 per hour for 1 child

I was the oldest of two younger sisters growing up. I have babysat for plenty of friends and family members over the years. I was also a nanny for two families in the past. I encourage activities that engages creative thinking and imagination-activities that will help them think but have fun at the same time. I also encourage spending time outdoors as I find being active is important. I can help out with pets, laundry, and meal prep. I look forward to hearing from you!

"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."
