Availability: looking for primarily evenings/date nights Hello Parents! My name is Courtney and I'm currently an ICU nurse. I have been working as a nanny off Urbansitter for about 8 years and absolutely I love it! I think my favorite part about being a nanny so far has been being a positive role model for young kids. Currently I am working on finishing nursing school and currently I have my EMT license and am BLS certified. Most recently I worked as an EMT at a summer camp these past two summers. By having many different types of childcare jobs I have had the opportunity to work with all age groups from 4 weeks- 16 years old. I am excited to meet more families in the area and if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out! Frequently Asked Questions: What do I expect from parents? Good communication and being honest with me. This allows me to do the best job possible taking care of your little one :) Are you CPR certified? Yes! Since August 2021. I also have had my EMT license and BLS certification since March 2022 as well as my ACLS and PALS certifications Are you vaccinated? Yes! I am up to date on all my vaccines including COVID (including first, second, and booster) Will you wear a mask around me and my family? Yes, I can! Just let me know if you would like that What if I come home early? Will I still be charged for the full time? Yes, due to me setting time aside in my schedule for an agreed upon amount of hours I do expect full payment. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you :)

With over 30 years of hands-on childcare experience and two grown children of my own (ages 26 and 22), I bring both professional and personal insight into caring for children of all ages. I am CPR and First Aid Certified (including infant and child CPR), ServSafe Manager Certified, and hold a ServSafe Allergen certicate. I am a dependable and nurturing caregiver who values structure, creativity, and patience. I have a clean, safe driving record and am fully capable of handling transportation needs, meal prep, light housekeeping, and homework help. I’d love to bring my warmth and experience to support your family’s needs in a part-time nanny role.

I’m a caring and reliable caregiver with experience as a daycare assistant teacher working with children up to age 5. I’m also a mom to an 8-month-old, so I understand patience, routines, and child development firsthand. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids and am comfortable with feeding, diapering, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m also fluent in English and Spanish.

Booked by 1 family in Merrimack, NH

Hi, I’m Tevin! I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve worked with young people for years—as a camp counselor with kids ages 3 to 17, and as a peer coach supporting teens and young adults. I even started my own summer camp in Washington Heights, DC, to give kids in the city a safe space to explore their interests in music, language, and self-expression. Over time, I’ve built a strong foundation in caregiving that blends leadership, patience, and empathy. Growing up with two working parents taught me a lot about running a household, from cooking and cleaning to helping out wherever needed—and those early lessons stuck with me. Now, with my background in psychology and my passion for giving back, I focus on uplifting others and building meaningful connections with the people I serve. I genuinely love working with all people, but young people hold a special place in my heart. Their joy, curiosity, and ability to find magic in the smallest things constantly inspire me to look at life through a brighter lens.
