Hi!! My name is Yessica. I am 29 years old and originally from El Salvador. I have over 5 years of experience working as a nanny with two different families. I also had the opportunity to work in a daycare for 6 months, where I received training and obtained certifications related to childcare. In addition, I have experience babysitting my nephews, which has strengthened my love and patience for working with children. I am a friendly, empathetic, responsible, and hardworking person. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children to grow and learn. Currently, I am looking for a long-term nanny position for at least 6 months. I am legally authorized to work in the United States and I am happy to provide references if needed.

"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."
