Hello families. I have a part time babysitting job and like to take on extra babysitting nights when I have extra time and availability. I have plenty experience with children’s age 1 and up. I like to keep them engaged whether it is playing, reading books etc.

Hello families! My name is Leah, and I am excited to start working with you and your wonderful children. We might be a match if you're looking for someone with childhood development cred -- both in theory and in practice. I received two degrees from San Francisco State University in Child and Adolescent Development, covering early childhood and school age, and minored in special education. I've been putting what I learned to good use with the families I support, both long term ad occasionally. I understand why babies, toddlers, preschoolers and kiddos do what they do; I understand what is developmentally appropriate for them; and I will help guide them with the exploration of the world and their interaction with it. My favorite way to care for children is to be outdoor. I get on their level, see what they see, and share their fascination in new things. I keep children safe while supporting their exploration of the environment. I help children how to get along with others while supporting the development of their personalities. I help children and their parents, feel secure because that's everything! I have been a nanny since 2012. I have experience with multiples and nanny shares. I want to help raise resilient, compassionate, and intelligent adults. I believe that Frederick Douglass said it best when he said, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." ****My availability will start November but I am looking for the perfect families now.

“Professional, super friendly, and a HIT with our 4-year-old. So many giggly fits. :)”

"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."
