Dasha $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Dasha, and I’m a recent college graduate with a degree in Business Management. I have hands-on experience caring for children through both my previous work as a Teaching Assistant and as a nanny. As a Teaching Assistant at Valley Learning Center, I worked closely with children and families, helped create a safe and positive environment, supported children with different needs, and regularly communicated with parents and teachers about their child’s day and progress. More recently, I had the opportunity to work as a live-in nanny for a family while they were out of town, caring for their 3-year-old son from morning to bedtime. I was responsible for waking him up, preparing meals, getting him ready and driving him to daycare, picking him up, playing with him, keeping him on his routine, and putting him to bed, as well as helping keep the home tidy. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children and getting to know their individual personalities. I’m comfortable taking initiative and handling routines independently while making sure children feel safe, cared for, and engaged. I’m also fluent in Russian in addition to English.

Emily $30 per hour for 1 child

I'm a trauma-informed doula and pursuing studies in Human Development, Early Childhood Education and Psychology. In the last 10years, I have gained experience in caring for mothers from pregnancy to post-partum and children from newborns to teens. Children's safety is my number 1 priority. I value & celebrate their developmental progression and share regressions. I heard I am kind, caring, compassionate, observant, patient, goofy and one-of-a-kind. I respect others beliefs and values and I'm easy to work with. I raised my family mostly outdoors exploring the natural environment. With my children's ages ranging from a kindergartener to a teenager, we spend our weekends picnicking, camping, swimming or boogie-boarding, bike-riding, strolling & laying on beaches, walking trails, finding tree tunnels and so much more. When indoors, we do art, we craft, make music and listen to them too AND we never pass up an opportunity to DANCE! With me, your kids will do all that you allow, pre-planned!

"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."
