I am an elementary school teacher off for the summer and an expert with kids and pets. I am a mom of two, ages 19 and 16. My son goes to UC Riverside and my daughter is a sophomore. I am currently a 2nd grade teacher but I have experience with all kids. I have two rabbits at my home that are free range in the kitchen so I know how to take care of very delicate animals.

"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."
