Mehrnaz $22 per hour for 1 child
I'm a master's student in counseling and psychotherapy, specializing in child and adolescent behavioral therapy. I worked in a kindergarten for three years and loved every moment of it. I have a deep love for children and enjoy engaging with them through creative play. I'm usually their favorite because I’m always up for fun and tapping into their world to make meaningful connections that support their growth and well-being. I've been a caretaker for my grandparents and I'm comfortable with caring for elderly, cooking, cleaning, driving to appointments, etc. I love dogs and I would be fine with families with dogs.

I have 10 years of experience. I'm a loving, caring person, very outdoorsy, always finding creative ways to entertain and engage kiddos in different activities to help develop their motor and cognitive skills according to their age.

Hi - My name is Kara! I’m 29 years old and I've been working with kids since I was 16 and absolutely love it. I’ve been in a nanny-share since 2021 and just recently said goodbye to my little ones who started preschool. I took care of them since they were three months old and now they are two and half years old. I’m now in a new nanny-share and taking care of a four month old and a five month old. I love being a nanny but recently have missed the babysitting experience. I love coloring, puzzles, playing pretend, and watching Disney movies with the kiddos. * at this time I’m currently not taking on any new families.
“She was extremely communicative and very sweet, highly recommend!”

"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."
