Annazette $28 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a fun, responsible mom who truly understands how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your family. I love creating a positive environment where kids feel safe, happy, and entertained. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, reading, or planning fun Disney-style days full of imagination and laughter, I enjoy keeping kids engaged while also helping maintain their routines. I’m patient, dependable, and naturally nurturing. As a mom myself, I understand how much trust parents place in someone caring for their children. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks like tidying up, organizing, meal prep, or running small errands to make busy family days a little easier. I also enjoy spending time with seniors and providing companionship, helping with everyday tasks like cooking, light cleaning, organizing, or simply being there for conversation and support. I truly enjoy helping families feel supported and at ease knowing their loved ones are in good hands. If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and fun who treats your family with kindness and respect, I would love to get to know you and your family. Also I have a 6 year old daughter who loves to meet new friends so if it’s an option to bring her along then that would be amazing !!

Maya $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maya and I’ve been working with babies, kids, seniors and teens with intellectual disabilities since I was 16 years old. I have experience babysitting newborns, nannying toddlers and children, volunteering at convalescent homes and being a teachers assistant to special needs high school classes. Some fun facts about me: I love roller skating, arts and crafts, swimming, hiking and reading - I even spent many years in charge of pajama story time for kids at my local bookstore. I have lots of energy and love being around kids of all ages. I’m very comfortable running errands, doing pick ups/drop offs and cleaning/organizing. I also love animals of all kinds and would be happy to pet sit anytime! I am a native English speaker and conversational in both Spanish and Portuguese :)

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
