Booked by 2 families in Arcola, VA

Hi! My name is Summer, and I'm a dedicated professional nanny with over 10+ years of experience caring for children from infancy through school age. I'm also a proud mom to a 15-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son. When my son was in preschool , I also worked as a substitute one day a week, further deepening my passion for early childhood education. I'm currently seeking a loving family to grow with-one where I can build a lasting, trusting relationship and contribute to a nurturing, enriching environment for their children. I offer much more than childcare: I support families by handling meal prep, children's laundry, light housekeeping, pick-ups and drop-offs, and any day-to-day kid-related tasks. I especially enjoy planning fun adventures and outings that keep little ones engaged, active, and happy.

“Summer has been a wonderful sitter for our family over the years as we’ve expanded from one child to three. She’s always punctual, responsible, and fun during her time with them. She’s been a great resource to us for occasional, recurring, and overnight care. Thanks Summer! ”

"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."
