**NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE*** Hi, I'm Nora (they/them)! I have been working with kids for a decade now; ages varying from newborn to 14 years. I was a full time nanny for five years before switching to backup and occasional care after my first kiddo was born. I’ve also worked with special needs children/folks on many occasions. I am fully vaccinated and CPR/First Aid certified. I come with glowing references. Working with kids is truly my passion in life. I enjoy getting to watch them grow and learn new things through play, reading, and age appropriate adventure. I am currently looking for a full time position and/or consistent occasional care. Outside of work I enjoy cooking, traveling, gaming, Disney, art, and spending time with my children and my cats. Cancellation Policy: Bookings cancelled 48 hours before service are 50% of the booking total. Bookings cancelled less than 24 hours before service are 100% of the booking total. **subject to change on a booking by booking basis

Nora was wonderful with our two girls. They were kind, on time, supported our family rules, and created a fun evening for the kids! We can’t wait to have them back over.

I have been working with kids since I was 15 years old, in both care-taking and teaching roles. In addition to babysitting, I am open to cooking, tutoring, and pet-sitting. I have my own car and a clean driving record.

Hello all! Thanks so much for your interest! Kids have been a passion of mine ever since I was young! I have been babysitting since the 7th grade, and I was long term (every day after school, Saturday nights, and Sunday mornings and afternoons) for a family in Atlanta for over 4 years. I also traveled with them on their beach vacation as an extra pair of hands. My other experience includes volunteering at my local church with newborns, infants and toddlers. Along with my nannying experience, I was also a camp counselor for two summers (2012 and 2013) with the University of Georgia 4-H program, working with middle school students. Because I was lucky enough to be selected for this competitive position, I am CPRO (CPR for the professional rescuer) certified, as well as a certified Red Cross lifeguard and certified in First Aid. Along with my camp training, I was also a lifeguard in high school in the summers before I graduated as a trained American Red Cross Lifeguard, and was also trained in the Red Cross Learn-To-Swim Swimming Lessons program (k-12). Along with my camp experience in Georgia, I had the wonderful opportunity of working with Camp Galileo in the Bay Area (2 years) and I was a senior team leader at the Manhattan Beach location for Camp G's first summer down south! After working as an outdoor educator (with 4th. 5th, and 6th graders) in the southern California mountains for two years, I moved back to the Bay Area in 2016 and have been working as a nanny ever since. With all my experience, I am able and willing to work with all ages, as well as take any courses parent(s) find necessary to prepare for whatever age needed. I am willing to have a separate background check as well as provide extra references. I love kiddos and I love to be on their level and connect with them. I love fostering an environment for creative play and I consider it a true gift to be able to help them learn, explore and discover! Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! **UPDATE ON MY PROFILE AS OF 7/2019** I recently took on a new position as a behavioral technician for clients with special needs, providing ABA therapy 6 days a week. Bittersweetly, I no longer have any extra time available to babysit. However, if I delete my UrbanSitter profile I will loose all of my contacts and the wonderful references I have received during my time on this amazing platform. I wish you the best of luck in your search! Thank you!
