I have been a nanny for over 12 years and about 8 years ago I transitioned into the corporate world. I am missing all the silly times with my little people and would like some occasional jobs to keep me engaged and having fun! I have a ton of energy and can keep up with any child or large families. I love animals as well! I have had quite a few cooking jobs and I don't sit very well for too long. So, if a baby is sleeping... I am cleaning or prepping food :) My minimum is 4 hours of work, so if you come home early, I still get paid for 4 hours. Thank you.
“Tiffany is extremely warm, energetic and professional and clearly very experienced! She is one of the first babysitters we've used as first-time parents and we felt at-ease almost right away.”

Hello Parents, I work full-time as a Program Manager and offer nanny services as a side job—something that brings me great joy. As a mother of two, I understand how important it is to provide children with nurturing care, patience, and gentle guidance. Spending time with kids is truly fulfilling for me. Their curiosity, laughter, and pure hearts are inspiring, and I cherish every moment I get to support their growth and well-being. It would be an honor to care for your little ones and support your family’s needs. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to discuss how I can best help. Warm regards, Mandana
“Mandana was wonderful with our 18 month old and 4 year old! Very nurturing, warm, kind, and creative with play! They warmed up to her immediately! By the time she left it was as though the kids seemed like they knew her forever Would absolutely recommend and have her back as much as we need!”

Hello! My name is Jessica. I’m 26 and have been a preschool teacher since 2022. I am currently available on occasional evenings or on the weekends. I enjoy following children’s interests, acting playful and silly, and being actively engaged in their play. I love being a part of children’s learning and development, and seeing them express their unique personality! I always strive to connect with each child and make them feel safe, loved, and valued. My favorite activities to do with children are arts and crafts, pretend play, outdoor play, reading, puzzles, board games, and playing hide and seek. I also have experience working with toddlers and elementary-aged kiddos — providing care, tutoring, and leading developmentally-appropriate activities. Through UrbanSitter, I have cared for children from 2-11 years old. You can always expect clear communication, safety and entertainment for your child, and respect of your house rules and expectations. Feel free to reach out, I’m excited to get to know you!
“Jessica was great with our boys (7&11) and very professional. She was on time and flexible with our return time as we weren’t sure how long we would be out. We would absolutely have her back and recommend her to other families. ”

"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."
