Abeer $26 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I'm Abeer, a mother of two, aged 15 and 17, offering childcare services. I especially enjoy caring for children aged 1-3, as they bring me happiness and calm. What sets me apart from other babysitters is my ability to teach simple Arabic words, comfort crying children, and engage them with educational games. I previously babysat my friend's child, who was 2-3 years old, for two years. During that time, I helped him learn new Arabic words and enhanced his speaking and listening skills. I am joyful, caring, easygoing, attentive, organized, cautious, bilingual, and unfortunately, allergic to cats and dogs.

"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."
