Hi! my name is Katrina. I am currently a student at Cal State Long Beach. I offer child care, senior care, pet care, tutoring, and household services. I am an older sister to two siblings. I enjoy being around children I've spent many of my weekends volunteering for my church's daycare. I have experience with kids of all ages and caring for multiple kids at a time. I can also provide reference numbers if needed. My responsibilities have included tutoring, crafting, outdoor and indoor activities, preparing lunch or snacks, cleaning up messes, pick up and drop off etc. I have been a caretaker to my Grandmother in her 80s since I was 14 years old so I also offer senior care. I could cook, clean, organize medicine, or do any task required of me. I also work as a household assistant, I can cook, do dishes, do laundry, clean the house, etc.

“Katrina once again is very prompt she comes at her designated time. The girls are feeling very comfortable, she receives them with respect. I too feel very confident with letting her take my grandchildren to school I’m adding to this review. Katrina worked for us for over 2/ 1/2 months. She also worked when she went back to school. I feel very confident with her. She responded quickly when I needed more days even though her schedule was different. I appreciate her loyalty to assist. ”

Looking to grow littles with compassion for the future! Hello! I’ve been a caretaker since my little brother was born 41 years ago! I’m a very interactive caretaker from pet care, childcare and hospice care. I love seeing families grow. I’m an adventurer, gardener. I love to explore and seeing lightbulb moments of littles learning. I have a plethora of nieces and nephews. I’ve been with families from new born, bottle feeding to elementary school and still active with them and been present for those at the end of life. I have references you can contact and I live in Long Beach. I’m CPR/ first aid certified and a serv safe food handling manager with culinary training. The littles I just finished with started school, swim and dance so I’m looking to find a family long term to grow with! Have a great day!!

"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."
