$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kamea, I graduated from UCLA with honors. I am offering child care, pet care, and household services. I have experience mentoring and caring for children of different ages through my work with AmeriCorps and Young Storytellers, as well as babysitting toddlers during college. I worked closely with high school students as an academic mentor, tutor, and support resource, and I currently help elementary school students build confidence through creative storytelling and writing. I am patient, dependable, organized, and very family-oriented. I also love animals and have a Yorkipoo and two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and loved ones. I recently worked in marketing for The Walt Disney Company before being impacted by company-wide layoffs, and I am currently looking for opportunities where I can help support families in meaningful ways. I would love the opportunity to assist your family however I can!

“Kamea is an incredible young woman: kind, reliable, punctual and responsive. I’ve had her watch my elderly in the past he had many complications that required precise care and affection that she was amply able to provide. Anytime I had a concern I could reach out to her and receive a prompt response. She is incredible and I do recommend 11/10”

"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."
