Hello! My name is Kam! I’m a 23 year old Marin County Native. All my life I’ve loved to provide care. I babysat from ages 16 to 21, and went on a hiatus to live on the East Coast and pursue my event planning career. But don’t fret, the care services didn’t stop during this hiatus, I became a foster mom and was a constant revolving door for puppy litters. Caring for up to 5 puppies for 2-4 weeks at a time. I’m now back in California working remotely as an event manager with very flexible hours. I genuinely love little ones so I’m hoping to make some additional income to return to school and earn an additional degree. MY EXPERIENCE: -Taught private tennis lessons to children aged 3-12 -Worked at a summer camp teaching film classes to ages 4-9 -Babysitter with multiple long term repeat clients. I would love to get to know you and babysit for your family!

"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."
