Hi! I’m a uindy Chem grad! I do work full time but I miss being around kids so much. I’m keeping me weekends open to help families! I think of myself as a huuuuge big kid. I love being outside, swimming, and generally as active as possible with the kids. I have a lot of experience with kids on the spectrum, I am as well. So I consider it my specialty. I just want to make a difference and help families in the best way possible. I’m always smiling and positive. Everyone needs positivity nowadays. My availability is up to date so just check it out and i’d love to sit for you!

Jenna $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Jenna and I’m 22 years old with several years of hands-on childcare experience. I was a full-time nanny for two and a half years, caring for three children who began in my care at 6 months, 7 months, and 3 years old. I continued working with them until they were nearly 3 and 5 years old, supporting their daily routines, development, and early learning. I also nannied another family for about a year, caring for children ages 3 to 7. Overall, I have extensive experience caring for multiple children at once and managing different age groups simultaneously, while ensuring each child’s individual needs are met. Before my nanny positions, I worked at two different daycare centers, caring for children ranging from newborn to 7 years old. I am currently a Lead Infant Teacher (ages 6 weeks to 10 months) at a daycare, a role I have held for over a year, where I focus on providing safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate care during this critical stage of growth. In addition, I have volunteered at a special needs preschool, gaining valuable experience supporting children with a variety of developmental and learning needs. I also babysit for multiple families as needed, caring for children ranging from 2 weeks to 11 years old. I am currently pursuing my education with the goal of obtaining my license to open and operate my own daycare in the future. I love engaging children in fun, enriching activities such as trips to the park, splash pads, swimming, outdoor play, and creative indoor activities. I am also comfortable transporting children to and from school or activities as needed. Alongside childcare, I also offer dog and house sitting services. While my professional experience in this area is limited, I have cared for pets and homes for family members and I am a responsible, reliable animal lover with two dogs of my own.

Daiana $13 per hour for 1 child

hello! My name is Daiana and I am Argentinian! Spanish is my first language but I also have very good English!! I have been an au pair in the United States since June 2023, my 2-year program ends in June of this year and I am interested in looking for another job as a nanny in the city! I have worked with babies since they were 2 weeks old, I love children, I have a lot of experience with children of all ages, especially babies! I also have very good references! My work rule is to always do everything with love, respect and understanding. Childhood is the most important moment in people's lives and I feel that it must be taken with great responsibility. I have loved each of my jobs being an au pair and I have learned a lot about myself as well as from each child I take care of! I am always open to doing interviews via video call or staying in touch, since I still have a few months until I return to the city! I also have a lot of experience caring old people since I took care of my grandparents for most of my adolescence! I am very responsible with cleanliness in my workplace and I am always open to help in any way I can!

"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."
