Hi, my name is Emily! I am a freshman in college majoring in Nursing, and I have a genuine passion for working with children. I have experience caring for children ages 1–5, including babysitting a 10-month-old, and I’ve also volunteered at a preschool for the past year. I’m a patient, caring, and responsible person who loves spending time with kids, playing with them, and creating a fun and comfortable environment. I would love the opportunity to help care for your little ones and become someone your family can trust.

"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."
