Jackie $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jackie, and I have over 8 years of experience working with children in both classroom and home settings. I’ve served as an Assistant Director and Director at Montessori and early childhood education programs, where I managed daily operations, supported families, and created safe, engaging environments for children ages 2-12. I recently decided to go back to school for Child Psychology and am looking for a family that I can help and grow with while in school. As a caregiver, I’m patient, dependable, organized, and genuinely love helping children learn and grow. I enjoy planning arts and crafts, outdoor activities, reading, sensory play, educational games, and age-appropriate adventures that keep kids engaged while having fun. In addition to childcare, I have experience with household organization, meal preparation, scheduling, school pickups/drop-offs, and family logistics. I’m comfortable caring for multiple children, working with children with varying needs, and helping busy families keep their routines running smoothly. I’m also a pet lover and comfortable caring for dogs and other household pets. Families can count on me to be professional, communicative, and nurturing while providing a safe and positive environment for their children. I look forward to connecting with families and becoming a trusted, reliable support for your household! 😊

"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."
