Ereste $40 per hour for 1 child

As a nurturing and experienced childcare provider with six years of experience, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of children. I am patient, calm, and possess a creative imagination that fuels engaging activities. My friendly and approachable nature allows me to build strong relationships with the children in my care. I prioritize open communication with parents, ensuring they receive regular updates about their child's day and any concerns that arise. I adapt to their preferred communication method, whether it's verbal communication at pickup, text messages, or phone calls. When it comes to household rules, I am very comfortable enforcing them while maintaining a positive and nurturing environment. My goal is to help children understand the importance of rules and boundaries while fostering a sense of respect and responsibility.

"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."
