Nurturing Newborn & Nanny Care | Reliable, Patient & Development-Focused I’m a compassionate, dependable caregiver with a genuine passion for helping children feel safe, supported, and confident as they grow. With a career focus in education, I bring patience, attentiveness, and a nurturing approach to every family I work with. I have experience caring for newborns and children of various ages, including children with developmental disabilities. I enjoy supporting children through daily routines, play, age-appropriate learning activities, and skill development while creating an environment where they can learn, explore, and be themselves. I understand that newborn care requires an especially calm, attentive, and reliable presence. I’m comfortable providing nurturing support with feeding routines, diapering, soothing, bedtime routines, and overnight care while following each family’s preferences and instructions. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention) trained. Families can count on me to be reliable, patient, organized, respectful, and attentive to the individual needs of their children. Whether you need occasional babysitting, consistent nanny care, newborn support, or overnight assistance, my goal is to make your life a little easier while providing your child with thoughtful, dependable care.

"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."
