Mary Michelle 1 review
$26 per hour for 1 child

I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I bring many years of experience working closely with people and families in roles requiring maturity, good judgment, warmth, and reliability. I’m especially comfortable with the practical rhythm of helping a household run smoothly—school pickups and driving, errands, meal preparation, light household organization, time with children, and caring for pets. I’m active, energetic, and genuinely enjoy being engaged rather than simply supervising from the sidelines. My professional background is in coaching, movement, mindfulness, and wellness, so I’m accustomed to working with people in a patient, attentive, and grounded way. I communicate clearly, notice what needs attention, and understand the importance of respecting each family’s routines and preferences. I’m currently most interested in part-time, temporary, occasional, or coverage needs, including date nights, weekend help, transportation, errands, and family-assistant support. And as a devoted dog person myself, I’m very comfortable in homes with pets.

I’ve known Mary for several years in a mentor/mentee relationship and would recommend her without hesitation as someone a family can trust. She is exceptionally responsible, dependable, caring, and conscientious. I’ve seen firsthand how seriously she takes the wellbeing of people and animals in her care. Mary is calm under pressure, communicates clearly, follows through on commitments, and has the maturity and judgment I would personally want in someone responsible for my children. She is also active, engaging, and genuinely enjoys helping and caring for others. While I have known Mary personally rather than employing her as a nanny, I can speak confidently to her character, reliability, and integrity. I would feel completely comfortable entrusting her with significant responsibility.
