Booked by 1 family in Chelsea, MA

Hi! My name is Katie, I’m a 32-year-old professional nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age kids. I’m skilled in managing multiples, nanny shares, and children with behavioral, emotional regulation, or executive functioning challenges. My approach emphasizes connection, autonomy, and play-based learning, and I love tailoring activities to each child’s interests, whether that’s singing, dancing, crafting clay figurines, or exploring fun activities around Boston, Cambridge, and the North Shore. I have done many different kinds of jobs including: long-term (3+ years) short-term, overnight, vacations, and date nights! I hold a Child & Youth Advocacy certificate and Associates in Liberal Arts Psychology from NSCC. I am also currently pursuing my Social Work degree at Salem State University. In addition, I volunteer with the Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless and CASA, bringing a strong commitment to supporting children and families both professionally and in the community. Some of my specific strengths include: • Redirection and emotional coaching • Supporting intuitive eating • Managing ADHD and sensory needs • Creating practical systems that support families long-term Thanks Katie

“Katie is our current nanny to our 2.5-year-old twin girls, and she has been a wonderful addition to our family. One of the things we appreciate most about Katie is her knowledge of child development. She is always coming up with fun, age-appropriate activities that help our girls learn and grow while keeping them engaged and excited. She is also incredibly in tune with children's emotions and does a great job helping our daughters work through big feelings with patience, empathy, and understanding. Katie is dependable, caring, and genuinely invested in our girls' well-being and development. We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to any family.”

I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Being that I come from a large family, I naturally stepped into the role of a caregiver early on. Beyond that, I’ve actively cared for my nieces and nephews, building a strong foundation in child care. My experience has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of creating a safe, nurturing environment for children to thrive. Whether it’s assisting with homework, planning engaging activities, preparing meals, or maintaining household routines, I take pride in ensuring kids feel supported and valued. I’m also skilled at balancing structure with fun, understanding the unique needs of children at different developmental stages. From soothing infants to mentoring teens, I’ve learned to tailor my approach to each child’s personality and needs. I have a natural ability to connect with people of all ages, which extends to seniors and even pets, having provided companionship and assistance for older family members and cared for household pets. My reliability, strong work ethic, and passion for caregiving make me a great fit for any family seeking a dependable and compassionate helper.

Bermarie $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable, and patient person with a natural love for helping others—especially children and animals. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages through babysitting and volunteering in after-school programs, where I learned the importance of patience, creativity, and keeping children engaged in fun and safe activities. I’m also comfortable caring for pets, from walking dogs to making sure they’re well-fed and loved. In addition, I’m experienced with household tasks like light cleaning, organizing, meal prep, and maintaining a tidy space. My nurturing personality, strong sense of responsibility, and attention to detail make me someone families can truly rely on to provide a warm, safe, and positive environment for both their loved ones and their home.

"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."
