Dominique $25 per hour for 1 child

Very loyal and very protective. When it comes to people especially kids I’m very protective as if they’re one of my own. Im an Uncle and though I’m not the father of my nieces I’m feel like they’re my kids. I would do anything for them or my family. I feel above all we have to do our part as human beings to protect the upcoming youth. Not just because their kids but because their innocent and deserve that protection.

"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."
