Dear Parent, Good day! My name is Laura and I have been joyfully working with children for over ten years. I received my Child Development degree from Meredith College in 2002. I love caring for babies and toddlers. I have used my training and skills teaching preschool, working in daycare centers, and as a nanny for several families. I believe that children learn through activity and play. I strive to provide a nurturing environment in which children can learn and grow. As your nanny, I would plan developmental activities for your child. I engage children through reading books, singing songs, fun art projects, and trips to parks and libraries. I am CPR certified, have a valid NC driver license, and a reliable vehicle. I would love to meet with you and your child. Please find my resume at the bottom of this email.

Shannon $20 per hour for 1 child

Growing up I always wanted a sibling this is where my love for children developed. My first babysitting job started as a teenager. After high school I attended college at East Carolina University my degree is elementary education and child development family relations. After becoming a first time mom the thought of having someone I did not know provide care terrified me. I decided to stay home and become a nanny and help other moms in my same situation. I have been caring for infants for the past 23 years. After many years of education and hands-on experience I provide quality care and treat each child just as I would my own. I also have two children of my own boy and girl.

"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."
