Hi! My name is Hope. I've worked in the field of childcare for 11 years and as a nanny for 9 years. As a nanny I take a montessori approach to the education & general care of a child. I enjoy creating fun, intellectually stimulating activities for children & infants. I also enjoy taking children to parks, museums, libraries & festivals to learn about the world around them. I babysit in my free time. As a babysitter I enjoy entertaining children though games, reading, outdoor activities, etc. I am CPR/FirstAid Certified. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you and your families !

“Hope was punctual and sprung right into action. I could tell she was an experienced caregiver because she was very comfortable with correcting my daughter while I was still around. She actually got on the floor and played with the kids. They both warmed up to her well. I will definitely use her services again.”

Hello my name is Paola, I am 31 years old! I am Colombian, I have a degree in child pedagogy, I love caring for and teaching children, I am fun, kind, respectful, honest and very responsible, patient, faithful, believer in God and love for the family. I have experience in my country in teaching and caring for children as an educator and in a school in baby care, I am also the mother of a beautiful 6-year-old boy! I also have experience here in the US as a babysitter although I don't speak English, we always look for a way to communicate with the parents, but the most important thing is that the baby is comfortable and happy! I am available to work as a nanny and do it with love. Regarding English, I just started studying, but I will look for a way to communicate while I improve my English. Truly my experience and above all love from a very young age for children will ensure that your baby is in the best hands!!! I have references from my previous jobs that are excellent

“Paola was wonderful with our toddler. She is warm, calm, and incredibly attentive. Our son immediately felt comfortable with her, and she kept him engaged with activities the whole time. We felt completely at ease. Highly recommend!”

Hi, I’m Lauren! I’ve been babysitting since middle school and have spent years caring for children of all ages, from newborns through teenagers. I also helped care for my nieces from infancy, so I’m very comfortable with bottles, diaper changes, naps, meals, and all the little routines that come with caring for young children. I have a B.S. in Biology and spent eight years working in chemical manufacturing before taking a break to live in Barcelona and study Spanish through full immersion. It might seem like an unusual path, but it taught me to stay calm, adapt quickly, and enjoy learning—qualities I bring with me when caring for kids. My favorite part of childcare is getting to watch kids learn and discover new things. Whether we're reading books, doing crafts, exploring outside, or just turning everyday moments into little learning opportunities, I love encouraging their curiosity while making sure they feel safe, supported, and have fun. Childcare: Newborns through teens, including feeding, diapering, naps, school pickup/drop-off, homework help, crafts, outdoor play, and age-appropriate learning activities. Pet care: Dogs, cats, and other household pets. I'm happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and making sure your pets stay comfortable while you're away. House sitting: Bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, taking out trash, rotating lights, and helping keep your home secure and well cared for while you're gone. (I also don't mind light child- or pet-related tidying as part of a sitting job.) I'm dependable, patient, and easygoing. I believe in following each family's routines and parenting style, communicating clearly, and creating a calm environment where children and pets feel safe and comfortable. I was previously Red Cross trained in CPR and First Aid (certification has since lapsed), and safety is always a priority. Whether you're looking for a regular nanny, an occasional sitter, pet care, or a trusted house sitter, I'd love the chance to meet you and see if we're a good fit.

"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."
