Kwanita $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, My name is Kwanita! I have a healthcare background as a pharmacy technician and offer child care, senior care, pet care, and household help. My work experience has made me very responsible, attentive, and calm in environments where safety and trust are important. Kids tend to connect with me quickly because I’m warm, playful, and engaging. People often say I give “Miss Rachel” vibes because I bring a positive, encouraging energy that helps children feel comfortable while still maintaining structure and routines. I especially enjoy helping kids with homework, reading, crafts, and outdoor play. As someone who grew up neurodivergent, I have a lot of compassion for children who learn or process things differently and I’m very adaptable to different learning styles. I enjoy helping kids build organization techniques and simple routines that help them succeed in school. I also worked as a YMCA swim instructor during my junior year of high school, where I taught children water safety and swimming skills. That experience helped me develop patience, leadership, and the ability to keep kids engaged while prioritizing safety. I’m happy to help families with light household tasks such as meal prep, errands, laundry, and organizing. Through my healthcare experience, I’m also comfortable providing companionship and support for seniors. I enjoy helping families create calm routines and supportive environments where children and loved ones can thrive. I’m always happy to do a quick call beforehand so parents and children can feel comfortable before booking.

"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."
