Avolie $25 per hour for 1 child

I have over 10 years of caregiving experience and am a compassionate, reliable, and patient caregiver. I also have 4 years of experience working in a daycare setting when I was younger, which helped me build strong skills in caring for and engaging with children of different ages. I can assist with light housekeeping, cooking, and meal preparation, and I enjoy planning fun, educational, and creative activities for children. I am attentive to children’s needs, focused on safety, and committed to creating a positive and nurturing environment. I am also experienced in maintaining routines, helping with homework, and supporting daily activities. I would love the opportunity to care for your children and support your family.

Booked by 1 family in Downey, CA

I have experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teenagers, including caring for multiple children at once. I’m comfortable helping with homework, meals, activities, driving, bedtime routines, and longer babysitting shifts, including evenings and late nights. I recently obtained my master’s degree, and during my graduate training I worked with children and families through psychosocial counseling and completed coursework in child psychology. I also have experience caring for neurodivergent children and children with more complex medical needs. These experiences have emphasized the importance of patience, flexibility, and attentiveness when caregiving. As well as the fact that every child may communicate, learn, or need support in different ways. I’d describe myself as easygoing, dependable, and caring. I want kids to feel comfortable and have fun with me, while still respecting the routines, boundaries, and expectations parents have for their home. I take safety seriously, communicate openly with families, and try to be someone both parents and kids can feel comfortable relying on.

"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."
