Oriel $20 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with over four years of professional childcare experience. Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, nurturing, and dependable. I truly enjoy creating a safe and positive environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. I have cared for children ranging from infants to school-aged, and I understand the importance of adjusting to each child’s unique personality, needs, and developmental stage. With babies, I am attentive and gentle, focusing on their routines, comfort, and milestones. With toddlers and older children, I encourage creativity, independence, and positive behavior through fun, structured activities. Patience is one of my strongest qualities. I believe children respond best when they feel heard and understood, and I take the time to guide them calmly through challenges, big feelings, or transitions. My nurturing nature allows me to connect with children on their level while still providing structure and consistency. My goal is to join a family where I can provide consistent, long-term care while giving parents peace of mind and children the nurturing environment they need to thrive. I’m flexible with scheduling, open to evenings and overnights, and excited to bring my dedication and warmth to a new family full-time.

"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."
