Hi everyone, I'm Jessica, a sophomore at college. It's been a few years since I started taking care of kids but for as long as I can remember l've always been like a second mum to my little siblings and cousins while growing up. Not because I didn't have a mum, but because being the eldest daughter it automatically became second nature. I love taking care of kids, watching and helping them grow is such a privilege to me, l'am also aware that it can sometimes get messy so I can help with light house work, laundry and school work if need. l'am more than willing to be a part of your team and I promise to do my best to keep your kids both happy and safe! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them.

“Jessica is great and personable! She was easy to communicate with. Our little one bonded with her immediately and they had a great time together reading books, playing creatively with toys, and also went out for a short walk. We will continue to work with her and also recommend her to others.”

Hello! I've successfully raised two sons who are now self-sufficient young adults. I adore children of all ages. I conduct legal background checks on caregivers, tutors, coaches, and anyone else with whom your child interacts. I am also adept at (and enjoy!) organizing homes and offices, And I teach teens to drive. I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, and a graduate certificate from Cornell University in the Psychology of Leadership. I have a spotless driving record; no criminal history; and I am fully vaccinated and boosted against Covid. For the past twenty years, I've been fortunate to own and run a firm that places a premium on ethics, discretion, tact, and confidentiality. I'm embarking on a career pivot that will include graduate work in child and adolescent psychology. I relied on my nanny when I was working full-time, and I trusted her implicitly. I hope to earn your trust and give you hard-working parents the break you deserve!

“Cristina is an exceptional organizing expert who transformed a daunting move-in situation into a manageable task in just one afternoon. With her professionalism, punctuality, clear communication, cheerful demeanor, and creative problem-solving skills, she tackled every space challenge with ease, finding smart solutions that I hadn’t considered. Her efficiency and positive energy made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. Cristina’s expertise and attention to detail turned a potentially overwhelming day into a smooth, organized experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to bring order to their space with a professional who truly cares about making your life easier and your home more functional.”

"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."
