Zeporia 2 reviews
$45 per hour for 1 child

Welcome to your child's home away from home! With over 10 years of childcare experience, I provide high-quality, home-based care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. My goal is to give parents complete peace of mind while creating a place where children feel comfortable, valued, and excited to spend their day. My home is located in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood within walking distance of several parks, the public library, kid-friendly restaurants and shopping, and a skate park, giving children plenty of opportunities for outdoor play, exploration, and age-appropriate activities. Whether we're reading books, creating crafts, playing outside, or enjoying home-cooked meals together, every day is designed to be active, enriching, and fun. I specialize in flexible care, including overnights, weekends, and last-minute bookings. My home is smoke-free, alcohol-free, clean, and child-friendly, and I strive to provide the consistency and warmth of a true "home away from home." Parents receive regular updates, photos, and communication throughout the day so they can feel confident and connected while their children are in my care. I believe every family deserves dependable, compassionate childcare built on trust, communication, and genuine care.

“Zeporia's expertise with not just children but also ensuring a house feels like a home is impeccable. The care and attention to our baby (6 mos; 4; 9); the dedication to the home; and the honestly the vibe and feeling that someone genuinely cares for our child and home the way they care for theirs is amazing. Yes, I've been to her home, beautifully cared for and maintained so I have options based on where me and the husband are when we need a sitter. More importantly, my children adore her and love her. She's also very intelligent and patient with my children. I'd recommend her...as long as it's not on the days we need her lol”

Hanane $28 per hour for 1 child

I began babysitting at 13 and have consistently worked with families over the years, caring for children from infancy through age 16. My experience includes caring for up to four children at a time, managing sibling dynamics, supervising conference and event childcare, and providing overnight nanny care while parents traveled. My faith is a central part of who I am and serves as my compass in how I care for others. It shapes my integrity, patience, and sense of responsibility, and guides me to treat every child with kindness, attentiveness, and respect. I believe children thrive in environments where they feel safe, valued, and genuinely cared for, and I strive to create that atmosphere in every home I serve.

"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."
