Nathalie $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Nathalie I love being a babysitter and in general caring for older people. Since I was little I grew up taking care of my brothers and family members. I’ve watched new borns, infants,toddlers and kids. My responsibilities have included driving to school/from school and helping my family in many errands throughout the day. Im a very clean person and love to be organized. As in also I’ve cared for senior people I have a lot of patience. I’ve cared for my grandma and with time have valued the time I have with her and think they all deserve to be taken care of as well and be heard. I know how to cook it’s a passion I have, I have a lot of experience in helping in homework with kids as I do with my little brother. I love to play outside with kids as sport activities or even in doors with puzzles or toys they like. I have a warm heart for kids and believe they should always have someone to be able to help them and care for them. I will make sure your kid has there homework and learns more than school work is provided. My goal is to make them feel safe and loved by taking care of them and helping them out in tasks with all the patience I have. I can also drive to any appointment or do other tasks! I’m available to even meet up so you get comfortable to know me in person :) Thank you

"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."
