Hello! I am experienced in various forms of childcare; I’ve been babysitting since I was a preteen, I have about a year and a half of infant and toddler daycare experience, and have over four years of experience working with autistic children of nearly all ages. Most recently I’ve been working as a preschool and kindergarten classroom aide, and with the summer break approaching I’m looking for a summer job that could hopefully transition to a part-time gig during the school year.

Nurturing children and supporting families has been my passion for 13 years. Recently I was a 1:1 paraprofessional for a student with down syndrome and I was a substitute paraprofessional for a student with autism. I am a patient, creative caregiver who loves engaging kids through outdoor sports, educational games, and imaginative crafts. I am comfortable managing multiple children and following your household rules to maintain consistency. I value open communication and will provide updates through your preferred method, whether that is a text or a conversation at pickup. I also assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping to keep your home running smoothly. I am certified as a Paraeducator in NH and I am currently enrolled in courses to become a Registered Behavioral Therapist. I look forward to being a positive part of your family's daily life!! Happy to submit my resume upon request!

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.

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 :)
