$27 per hour for 1 child

Hello all, I’m here looking for a part-time position, open to full time for the right fit . I have 4+ years experience as a childcare provider for kids all age, naturally empathetic and loving, responsible, fun and energetic. I have reliable transportation so being on time is not a problem. I hope we can connect soon :)

“Amanda has babysat my children and I highly recommend her. She is incredibly sweet, patient, caring, and attentive. My son is usually very attached to me and can take time to feel comfortable with other people, but he felt much more at ease with Amanda, which meant a lot to me. My daughter absolutely loved her and was so happy with her babysitter. Amanda arrived a few minutes early so she could ask about allergies, routines, and anything else she needed to know, and she also gave me enough time to say goodbye to the kids before my date night. She made them dinner, took great care of them, and made them feel safe and comfortable. When I came home, my daughter immediately told me that I should call Amanda again because she was so good with them. That says everything to me. I would absolutely trust Amanda with my children again and would recommend her to any family looking for someone kind, responsible, patient, and genuinely good with kids.”

"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."
