Mariana $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mariana! Caring for children and supporting their growth is truly my passion. I'm originally from Chico, California, and currently living in San Francisco while attending San Francisco State University. I have over five years of experience working with children ages 4-12 through Chico Area Recreation District and school-based after-school programs. My background includes roles as a Recreational Leader, Camp Counselor, Summer Camp Coordinator, and Extended Day Program Leader, where I supported children academically, facilitated enrichment and outdoor activities, and helped create safe, structured, and fun environments. I'm patient, calm, and nurturing, while also confident in setting boundaries and enforcing household rules. I love encouraging creativity through imaginative play, arts and crafts, games, puzzles, and outdoor activities. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in Spanish and English, and have experience communicating closely with parents and caregivers.

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
