Hi everybody! My name is Klaudia and besides being a part-time babysitter I'm open to families which are considering to have a live-in or live-out nanny. I have wide experience with kids in different ages. As a certified Red Cross first-aid trainer I was able to teach kids about the health, first-air and CPR. I am very patient and I love to see the progress that kids can make. Besides my long experience with kids, including kids with disabilities, as an ordinary nanny for total of 6 years, I was a live-in nanny for almost two years. This experience consisted from taking care of three kids (ages 5, 9 and 12), driving them to activities, making a food for them, helping them with homework and of course having fun! What I liked about this experience was the opportunity to maintain great relationship with these kids and the ability to be there for them anytime they needed me. Additionally, I do have experience with toddlers and infants, bedtime and morning routines, feeding and playing with babies or taking them for stroller walks. I'm also enjoying tutoring English and Math. Please don't hesitate to send me a message.

Booked by 1 family in Fairfax, VA

Hello! I'm an author and narrative strategist looking to supplement my freelance income while I edit my first book. I worked as a camp counselor (Potomac School, Ligonier Camp) before heading off to NYC for my former life as an editor (Martha Stewart, NBCUniversal); now in my mid-30s, I'm excited to revive my skills as a part-time babysitter. If you're looking for curiosity, calm authority, and an artistic presence who's always down for creative play, I'm your gal. I also do a killer read-aloud bedtime story.

"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."
