Hello, my name is Jamie I am a 47 year old female, I am a very honest & outgoing person. I love being around kids. I take care of a little girl that is 9 years old a couple days a week. When my grandmother was alive I moved in with her. I helped her in a lot of different ways. After my grandmother passed away, I moved back in with my mom since she was alone. Unfortunately she got cancer and I helped her as much as I could. I took her to Doctor appointments picked up her medications and helped her with things around the house unfortunately my beautiful mother also passed away after a few years. I am not trying to bore you with my life story just trying to show you how caring and family oriented I am. I promise you I will put 100% in anything I do. Please consider me to help. Thank you for your time and hope to meet you soon. Thank You Jamie

Hi families! I’m Emily 👋🏼 A loving, experienced nanny with 10+ years in childcare. I began babysitting in college, earned my Bachelor’s in English, and went on to teach Pre-K and elementary students in Spain. 🇪🇸 Later, I pursued my Master’s in Early Childhood Education with a focus on Special Education. I’ve worked in classrooms ranging from Pre-K through 8th grade and am comfortable caring for children of all ages and abilities. I prioritize creating a calm, nurturing environment that supports kids’ social-emotional development and curiosity. Some of my favorite activities include reading, yoga, outdoor play, crafts, and long walks! I speak conversational Spanish and would be happy to practice with your little ones. I’m CPR certified, have my own car, and am great with pets. Since I teach during the school year, I’m currently available for seasonal summer care, with ongoing availability for evening and weekend babysitting. I’d love to build a warm, trusted relationship with your family! Warmly, Emily 🤍

We were so appreciative of Emily’s flexibility last minute. She was so nice with our baby and our dog. I would absolutely hire Emily again!

"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."
