Ciara $22 per hour for 1 child

I’m an experienced nanny with a strong background in both classroom settings and in-home childcare. While I’ve worked with children of all ages, I’m especially passionate about caring for babies and children of all ages — it’s where I feel most at home and where my skills shine the brightest. I bring a blend of intelligence, fun, energy, and creativity to every family I work with. My experience ranges from supporting childhood growth and learning, to cooking, cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I’ve also had the opportunity to travel with several long‑term families, which has helped me build deep, lasting relationships and a strong sense of trust with the children and parents I support. My goal as a nanny is to provide exceptional care while helping children learn, grow, and feel genuinely loved and supported. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment and becoming a reliable, positive presence in each child’s life.

"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."
