Nicole $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I am a nanny for a 1 year old girl. I have a ton of experience babysitting. Was doing a weekend job running errands and helping around the house but unfortunately the family needed someone full time and I was unavailable for that. My best time is on the weekends when I am most available. I am cpr/first aid certified, I have a drivers license and my own vehicle. I love children and animals!

"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."
