Hey, I’m Teara! I am outgoing and fun. I like to do arts and crafts, story time, creative/messy games outside(depending on their preferences for weather, of course!) and am always open to trying/learning new thing to do with kids! I am a great communicator and willing give updates throughout the day. I’ve always enjoyed being around kids, along with animals. I love to watch them learn, develop new skills, question things or explain in ways we as adults don’t often think of and watching them find new interests. I have worked with kids for almost 10 years ranging from infants(2mo) -to preteens (12-13). I also have experience and am confident in my abilities when working with multiple young children at once. (1:4 ratio from ages 3 months- 2 years old) I started out with home babysitting for my family then eventually turned into family nannying for other families near me. I have continued to nanny part time for a few families over the last 10 years. Eventually, I found a daycare part time while in HS. & Also worked at a Child Development Center as the Wobbler Assistant & Lead Toddler Teacher for over six years. I have two kiddos of my own- 5 and 3! I’ve recently taken a step back from working in a childcare setting (I definitely still try to stay updated and informed on trainings and child developmental info being learned/taught to teachers and caregivers) and just been taking on part time, last minute, date night gigs! However, I am open to something consistent if it seems like a great fit for everyone. My love and passion for kids has always been there. I continue to do trainings, learn about development and stay up to date on all the child info :) I am also COVID cautious; fully vaccinated, willing to wear a mask, and limiting my exposures. •Meal prep •Homework help •School drop off/pick up •Background check completed •TB test cleared •CPR first aid, blood borne pathogens, & HIV/AIDS certified •Food handlers card •Recognizing/reporting abuse/neglect •Clean driving record, Safe car •Health & Safety •RIE •PBIS I am looking forward to meeting new families through this site & helping out as much as possible.

Greetings lovely family, My name is Amber-Avenira, most people call me Avi :) With over a decade as a live-in & live-out nanny, including many years with a private nanny agency, I have enjoyed learning about a variety of lifestyles and parenting approaches including Montessori, RIE, positive reinforcement and more. With my bag of toys, gentle smile and warm sense of humor I am comfortable and confident in connecting with kids of all ages. And happy to support your family with anything you need. I work part time as a music teacher at a local music school, which keeps my schedule fairly open to continue supporting families as I've enjoyed doing most of my life. My beliefs strongly center around the "It Takes a Village" mindset, and I feel this is more important nowadays than ever before. We aren't meant to raise our families alone, it can really make a difference connecting with another person every now and then. So it is a great honor to be included in your village, even for a day. And my pleasure to be of service to you and your little one(s). I've included a few reviews from families I have worked with in the past. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions at all. I look forward to speaking with you soon! -Avi Heather You are very calm and give my children great attention. You play creatively with them and engage them in activities they're really interested in. . . Of course we want our children to be safe, have fun and be nurtured for who they are. You've been a great fit for that! Emily You treat children with respect and take them seriously, but also have fun with them. You pay attention to them and see them as individuals. Heather + Adam What most stands out is the engagement you had with the various developmental stages and creative needs of our children. We never returned to fussy children...they were always so content. Elisa My kids love you! You’re enthusiastic, kind, fun and you’re reliable. I also appreciate your punctuality. You receive requests and notes in a wonderful way. Kaitlyn You are so engaged and always come ready to play and meet her wherever she is at- happy, sad- you hold space for all of it and I am grateful :)

"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."
