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 :)

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- my name is Raianna I’m currently working in a daycare in Marblehead , working with toodlers at the moment. I have experienced taking care of infants toodlers and preschoolers. I really love and enjoy being a babysitter outside of my work hours, I enjoy being with the kiddos, spend time with them, show them new things, and most importantly making them feel safe. Im fluent both in English and Spanish and I’m currently taking Italian lessons. I’m originally from Dominican Republic but I moved to the states at a young age so I would be delighted to teach your kiddos Spanish! I love and also am comfortable with Dogs and Cats. :)

Raianna was great! She was communicative and prompt and was great with our two toddlers. She gracefully handled dinner and bedtime routines for two kids who were not experienced with babysitters. We would recommend her!
