Sarah $33 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been a nanny for the past twelve years, with experience ranging from infant to early elementary school aged. I just wrapped up my most recent job as the family’s needs are changing and now I’m looking for work while I figure out what’s next for me. I love keeping kids active and engaged, with plenty of outdoor time as the weather permits. I don’t drive, so I can only take jobs that are MBTA accessible; I’m also experienced and comfortable with taking kids on the t/bus if necessary. Currently, my availability open and pretty flexible, I’m open to one off gigs, temporary jobs, or longer term (1-2 years).

"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."
