Hello! I'm a professional and am looking to use my extra time helping out families. I've led summer camps for elementary school kids. I'm great with children and have six nieces and nephews who I adore. I used urban sitter when I lived in nyc. I am a fan of non-screen time play. We read all of their favorite books, played pretend, built structures, scooter and skate. I’ve relocated to Santa Clara and am rebooting my services in urban sitter. I have an M.S. degree from Columbia University. American Red Cross : Adult, Child and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED certificate: 020KFCJ

Van was very professional and on time. She cared for and played with my 3 year old and kept her entertained all day!
