With over 10 years of hands-on experience in childcare, I have had the pleasure of working with children ranging from infants to school-age. Throughout my career, I've developed a strong passion for fostering a safe and creative environment where children can thrive.

My approach revolves around play-based learning, encouraging children to explore their creativity while developing essential life skills. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio!

Hi there! I am Blanca and I have had a passion for school and education ever since I was in kindergarten! I recently reconnected with some family after 17 years and turns out I have nieces and nephews, so I decided to take a break from teaching to travel often and spend time with them. While I am enjoying living life as a lady of leisure when back in town, I do miss working with younger children, so I am looking for occasional/one-time babysitting jobs where I can help out parents and have fun-filled days with children. I am a graduate of Dominican University, where I studied elementary, ESL, bilingual education, and translation & interpretation. I have experience working as a high school and elementary teacher, K-12 substitute teacher, teacher’s assistant, daycare center lead teacher, and camp teacher; as well as babysitting from months-old babies to teenagers. I am very patient, caring and attentive. I began my paid experience babysitting for my former teachers and employers, who then referred me to their friends and they to theirs, and so on, so I’ve become an occasional sitter for several families while I’m not teaching, but this year I am looking for occasional jobs to make better use of my time until the next school year starts. I love anything puzzle-related; I’m a pro at hide-and-seek, and can do arts and crafts out of anything! My music taste range is insane! I also haven’t owned a tv in over 8 years, so I never resort to screen time… unless your child turns it on and I can’t figure out how to turn it off for a few minutes. In my spare time, I enjoy nature, music, brain teasers, origami, and cleaning, to name a few things. Fun fact: I can drive and ride a motorcycle, but I have yet to learn to ride a regular bike!

Hello I'm Maria! I am a dedicated and detail-oriented nanny with over 9 years of experience, starting in 2016. My passion for providing a safe, fun, and educational environment for children has been a key driver in my work. I pride myself on creating enriching experiences that promote learning while ensuring that kids are having fun. I am highly organized, follow schedules closely, and work to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are in good hands. As a COVID-19-conscious professional, I have all my vaccines up to date and take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I find working with kids fulfilling because there are so many things to learn and explore with them every day. I love being able to inspire their curiosity and excitement in small and big ways throughout their day. My experience is very diverse as I have worked with newborns, infants, toddlers and older aged kids, as well with multiples(twins) and multiple siblings. I'm also available on weekday evenings should you ever need help then. I am comfortable working around pets as well. I am bilingual in Spanish as well. In addition to child care, I'm able to help with preparing meals, light housekeeping, and laundry. I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to getting to know you and your family more. Thank you!

“Kids had a fantastic time! 10/10!”

Hi! I'm Fariani—but most parents end up calling me Mary Poppins. 😊 Caring for children is more than a job to me—it's my passion. I'm a warm, reliable, and patient nanny with experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers, including 4 years working with a child with special needs with feeding tube. I also speak several languages French is my native language. I love creating fun, engaging, and educational days through reading, arts & crafts, parks, museums, board games, homework help, and teaching French. My priority is to provide a safe, loving environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to learn and grow. I'm also happy to prepare healthy meals, help with light housekeeping, and maintain open, honest communication with parents. I'm looking for a family that values kindness, trust, and teamwork.

"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."
