Think of me as your child's "fairy grandmother"!! I am older, incredibly experienced with newborns and infants, as well as older school age kids. Not only that, I am a retired health professional that loves kids and is very fit. I am a runner! I have a 40 year old son who I am very close too, and have been trained in The Happiest Baby on the Block protocols, by Dr. Harvey Karp. I have been trained in sleep issues as well. I was a full time nanny for a 2 month old girl, until she was 2 years old, almost 50 hours a week. I am also experienced in twins. I have a teaching degree and have substitute taught over many years.

Camilia $19 per hour for 1 child

My name is Camilia :) I have a deep love for working with children and have been caring for them for many years. I began babysitting at the age of 13, and over time this passion has grown into meaningful, hands-on experience. I currently serve as a Sunday School teacher, where I teach and care for children from infancy to 5 years old, creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where they can learn and grow. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have earned certificates in Basic Nanny Knowledge and NCA Basic Knowledge through the International Nanny Association. I am also actively studying for the INA Nanny Credential Exam, as I am committed to continuing my education and growing as a professional caregiver. While this will be my first professionally paid nanny position, I bring years of trusted childcare experience, a strong sense of responsibility, and a genuine eagerness to support families. I take pride in being dependable, patient, and attentive, and I care for every child as if they were my own. I would be honored to earn your trust and work alongside your family to provide reliable, loving care.

"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."
