I have been a nanny since I was 15 years old. I have watched all ages of children from infants to preteens. I have worked with children with special needs as well. I am also accustomed to working with more than three children. I have had jobs as a summer nanny, date night babysitter, and overnight weekend sitter. I am also a swim coach and teach swim lessons, so I have worked with children in many different settings. I also have been a certified lifeguard for the past seven years and I am accustomed to teaching children to swim and saving their lives in the water. I am allergic to mushrooms so if meal prep is involved please make sure they are not involved with it! **Note if you cancel within less than 24 hours I require 2 hours minimum cancelation fee. Thank you!**

Hello, I have worked as a nanny three times, for children ranging in age from four months to five years old. I also worked for a caregiver with a therapy organization for children with developmental disabilities back in 2[removed]. I work from 9-6 Monday through Friday, so I am available some evenings and weekends. Please just message me to check availability for a particular date! I am CPR trained, reliable, and happy to help out with light housework. I also love animals, so I always willing to help out with any household pets too. Unfortunately I do not sit for families when someone in the household is sick. (I tend to hang onto colds for weeks 🤧.)

"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."
