Availability: looking for primarily evenings/date nights Hello Parents! My name is Courtney and I'm currently an ICU nurse. I have been working as a nanny off Urbansitter for about 8 years and absolutely I love it! I think my favorite part about being a nanny so far has been being a positive role model for young kids. Currently I am working on finishing nursing school and currently I have my EMT license and am BLS certified. Most recently I worked as an EMT at a summer camp these past two summers. By having many different types of childcare jobs I have had the opportunity to work with all age groups from 4 weeks- 16 years old. I am excited to meet more families in the area and if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out! Frequently Asked Questions: What do I expect from parents? Good communication and being honest with me. This allows me to do the best job possible taking care of your little one :) Are you CPR certified? Yes! Since August 2021. I also have had my EMT license and BLS certification since March 2022 as well as my ACLS and PALS certifications Are you vaccinated? Yes! I am up to date on all my vaccines including COVID (including first, second, and booster) Will you wear a mask around me and my family? Yes, I can! Just let me know if you would like that What if I come home early? Will I still be charged for the full time? Yes, due to me setting time aside in my schedule for an agreed upon amount of hours I do expect full payment. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to hearing from you :)

Introduction: Hello! While I’m somewhat new to finding caregiving and housekeeping jobs online, I’ve had a fair amount of experience watching infants and children as well as most pets. Babysitting my little cousins (ages 3,5,8) is an absolute joy for me since I genuinely enjoy taking care of others and keeping things in order. I am also able to watch dogs, cats, chickens, all rodents, snakes, goats, and reptiles, (have either had one or pet-sat one) but would be happy to receive instruction on how to take care of something not included on that list! Personal Background: I graduated with the class of 2024 from Portsmouth High School in June with a GPA of 3.7 and would like my future to be full of traveling, ceramics, and cooking. With a French mom and Canadian father, I was raised bilingual in French and English but have also learned some basic Spanish, Italian, and Russian. Having another language in the house is a plus for me, and I do offer French tutoring! I also have a twin sister who I grew up traveling to and around Europe with whenever we would visit family with our mom. I am happy to do crafts, go on walks or play outside, help with homework, read, cook, clean, or whatever else you might need for your kids, pets, and homes!

I’m a caring and reliable caregiver with experience as a daycare assistant teacher working with children up to age 5. I’m also a mom to an 8-month-old, so I understand patience, routines, and child development firsthand. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids and am comfortable with feeding, diapering, playtime, and bedtime routines. I’m also fluent in English and Spanish.

Hi there! I’m Alyssa — a lifelong animal lover, coffee enthusiast, and proud pet parent. My heart has always belonged to animals. I grew up snuggling with our family Rottweilers (Greta, Mugs, and Ossa) and now share my home with two lovable giant breed Swiss Mountain Dogs, Kimber & Fiona. I have years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. From my furry best friends Kimber & Fiona, to cats, parrots, chickens, horses, sheep, and even fish. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy kitty, or a feathered friend, I understand that each animal has their own unique personality and needs. As a fellow pet owner, I know how important it is to feel confident that your animals are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. You can count on me to be responsible, reliable, and fully dedicated to keeping tails wagging and whiskers twitching in your absence.

Alyssa is amazing! Responsive, reliable and most importantly our puppy loves her.
