Hello! My name is Julia. I am an experienced nanny and babysitter always looking to help families with their childcare needs from infants through teenagers. EDUCATION: Bachelor’s degree in Musical Theatre with a Concentration in Dance, 2018 GPA: 3.8 EXPERIENCE: I’ve supported families with everything from school pickups in my own car, homework help, and activity transportation to meal preparation, household organization, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities. Known for my reliability, patience, and ability to connect with kids of all ages, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children can thrive. Alongside childcare, I work as a film producer, which has strengthened my organization, communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills—qualities I bring to every family I work with.

“Julia was an absolute star!! She had the energy of 10 people and my 4 year old and 7 month old absolutely adored her. I heard laughter in our house nonstop from the moment she arrived. A very special person!”

Hi! I love working with children and I have several years of experience. Throughout my four years of attending college in New York, I worked for a babysitting agency and helped care for children from many different families. Through this experience, I learned how to keep kids engaged and comfortable while we’re together. I love being creative with kids, coming up with fun games to play, helping with homework, etc. :)

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to work with children. I played volleyball for seven years and loved coaching younger players to help build their confidence. In high school, I tutored and assisted grades 2nd-5 through a program called Urban Compass. During COVID, I lived with my sister and helped care for her three children, supporting their daily routines and education. I’m now studying culinary arts in Los Angeles and worked with a wonderful family caring for two kids (ages 5 and 6). I handle school pick-ups, drop-offs in the parents’ car, and guide them through their evening routine. I also help with light cleaning, cooking meals, and baking sweet treats the kids love! I have two cuddly cats at home, so I’m very comfortable with pets too.

“She is great with kids and pets. She cleaned the house and made it spotless. She is very entertaining to my kid. My daughter loves her.”

"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."
