Nai $17 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Nai, I am a 19 year old female student currently looking for flexible work to match my studies & figured urban sitter would be the way to go! I am an oldest sister to 3 younger siblings and have a large family so I’ve spent most of my years taking care of children & pets of all sorts! I absolutely love working with kids & animals alike, and also have many years of cooking & cleaning experience to pair it with, so I do not mind taking on any other household responsibilities while on the job. I hope you can consider taking me into consideration for whatever position you may require me to fill! I understand relying on another person, much less someone you don’t know, to care for your child or furry companion can be quite daunting, which is why I pride myself on making sure my clients are as comfortable as they can possibly be throughout the entire process and making sure to build trust, & good relationships with any and everyone I meet! So with that, thank you for your consideration & I hope to meet you soon! :)

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
