Khate $20 per hour for 1 child

Hey! My name is Khate. I'm 34 years old. I recently decided to go back to school and I’m currently studying to become an Occupational Therapy Assistant. I have years of experience babysitting and full-time nannying. I’ve seen many of the kids I’ve watch grow up to be such lovely little human beings. It’s always been in my nature to take care of people. I love working with kids and help them build confidence as they grow up. My hobbies are listening and playing musical instruments like piano and guitar, drawing, singing, basically everything that has to do with arts! I love getting crafty and creative. I like going on hikes and discovering new coffee shops. I also have a background in Filmmaking and Photography so I like to capture little, beautiful moments.

Hi, I'm Libby! I've spent 20+ years caring for kids, dogs, and seniors, and I treat everyone I look after like family. I lived with my sister's family during Covid to help raise my niece and nephews, and I'm very comfortable with kids of all ages. I have a psychology degree and I like to think I'm so I'm patient, fun, and good at figuring out what a kid needs. I'm also a dance instructor, and love to engage kids of all ages with music, games, and movement. I'm a total dog mom and have years of experience as a dog walker, caretaker, and boarder. I'm especially comfortable with special needs dogs and medical situations, including meds and extra monitoring. I also currently care for 3 dogs and their 94-year-old grandma, so I'm great with seniors too: patient, kind, and dependable. I'm reliable, communicative, and I'll always send updates and photos. I'm happy to do a meet and greet with anyone, and I require one for all dog boarding so everyone's comfortable

"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."
