I left my unfulfilling job to reboot and find a new one. I am a mechanical engineer with an art education background — I love creativity and coming up with fun ideas. I would be happy to look after your children and pets. I am responsible and follow instructions carefully.

“We feel so fortunate to have had My as our nanny for the past year. She has been an incredible support to our family and has truly become part of it. My is highly reliable, always punctual, and such a joy to be around. She cared for our 9 and 6 year-olds with so much warmth and responsibility, picking them up from school, taking them to their after-school activities, and making sure they were well cared for every step of the way. Our kids really like her, and we trust her completely. We wholeheartedly recommend My to any family looking for an extra pair of hands and a wonderful presence in their children’s lives. She is everything you could hope for in a nanny, and more ”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
