Hello, I graduated from California State University of Los Angeles with a bachelors in Criminal Justice. I am offering child care, animal care, and household services. I been a babysitter since I was 14 years old and recently had the opportunity to move on from childcare of two children that I been with for years! While that move was sad, I was glad I had the opportunity to watch them grow! My childcare services include, infant, toddlers, and kids. However, I worked more with infants and toddlers! My duties included cooking, cleaning, creation of crafts/games, driving to/from school, parks, and groceries stores. My hobbies are painting, working out, and cooking! I love animals and don’t mind working with them!

“My son had a great time talking with and playing with Katie! She engaged him in all his special interests. She arrived on time and tidied all the toys up afterwards too 🙂 ”

I have hands-on experience caring for infants, especially since I understand their unique needs, such as feeding schedules, sleep routines, and developmental milestones. I’ve also worked with toddlers and older children, engaging them in fun and educational activities that help with social and cognitive development.

"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."
