Hii! I'm Ariyanna, a 19-year-old college student with a very big heart for all families. I have 5 years experience.In the past I've worked at an amazing In-home care facility as well as nanny for previous families on other care platforms , where I was blessed to learn the importance of safety, patience for all, and the art of creating a loving, calm and peaceful environment. I am currently in college at YTC earning my CNA certification and am excited to work toward my dream of one day working in a pediatric hospital. I have had the pleasure of caring for 2 different families so far, including one with an adorable 1 year old and another with a very cool set of twins. These amazing families helped me gain hands-on Nanny experience with different ages, routines, and personalities. I love creating a fun, positive and safe atmosphere. Whether that means playtime, helping with daily routines, or simply being a comforting presence to your families. I am very responsible, attentive, and gentle. I always care for all children, elderly people and pets with kindness and respect. Families can feel confident knowing their littles ones, pets, and family members are in safe, happy hands with me:)
Hi! My name is Sorayah, I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education at York Tech. I have hands on experience working with young children through my coursework and childcare labs. I’m patient, caring, responsible, and enjoy creating a fun and safe environment for children. I’m comfortable helping with playtime, routines, and keeping children engaged. I also have experience caring for pets since I have a cat, and I’m comfortable with simple meal preparation, light cleaning, and helping around the home. I’m dependable, organized, and always willing to learn and help wherever I’m needed.
Hi! My name is Domenica I am 23 years old and currently a Lead teacher at a Reggio Emilia preschool! I have been teaching the Reggio Emilia approach for 5 years and I believe in nurturing the interests of the individual child while creating a loving, peaceful, and responsive environment for your child to grow. My certifications include, Early childhood education, CPR, first aid, water safety, SIDS, and many more! I am offering child care for children ages 3 months- 6 years. I will be available full time beginning February 10th, as I pursue my passion in a more individualized environment.
I’ve been a nanny for 8 years, during which I’ve had the privilege of caring for children of all ages and abilities, including those with special needs. My background in healthcare, having studied at Carolina College of Health Sciences, has given me a deeper understanding of children’s health and well-being. I’ve also worked in a pharmacy, which enhanced my attention to detail, responsibility, and ability to manage care routines effectively. Throughout my nanny career, I’ve been committed to providing exceptional care, ensuring that children feel safe, supported, and stimulated. I engage children in educational activities, including early language skills like teaching Spanish, reading, and sensory play. I also enjoy planning outdoor outings and ensuring they have a balanced daily routine with meals, naps, and interactive play. My experience working with diverse families and special needs children has allowed me to develop patience, empathy, and strong communication skills. These qualities, combined with my medical background, make me a compassionate and capable caregiver.

"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."
