Hi Families! 😊 My name is Wednesday. I have babysat multiple times for close family and friends. And just started babysitting professionally about a month ago. I enjoy being a babysitter because it’s a fun environment to be in ! My past jobs have always been working in the kitchen as a cook or customer service,but it didn’t feel fulfilling . I’ve always had a passion working with children. So I am excited that I finally get to do so! I have a child of my own as well. So I feel like I have plenty experience. I consider myself, responsible, trustworthy, and reliable. I am very attentive when it comes to children. I am definitely here to help. Feel free to message me!

ā€œOn time, very loving and attentive. Open and willing to help in any matters needed not just with the children, but with the parents as well. A ā€œteam memberā€ qualities. ļæ¼ļæ¼ā€

"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."
