Booked by 1 family in Los Altos, CA

Hello! My name is Taliyah, I’m 24 years old, and currently a senior in college. I’ve been working with children for as long as I can remember, and I have about 8 years of professional experience. ☺️ For the past few years, I’ve worked with children in elementary and middle school, and I also have experience with younger children from caring for my 5 year old sister since she was born. I love playing board games, doing fun crafts, and (trying to) play sports with kids! In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, exploring the outdoors, and playing with my bunny and puppy. 🐰🌷

Korinne $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I am energetic, creative, mindful, and I enjoy helping others. With 17yrs of professional childcare experience, including running a large after school program at an elementary school via Hayward Public Library, I've been able to help bring siblings together, keep hundreds of Bay Area families reassured of their childcare choice, and teach kids several skills -- including chess, soccer, musical theater, dance, and Spanish. Professional roles: Camp Galileo Team Leader - 3yrs, Beechwood School PreK & Kinder aide - 1 y, Beechwood Substitute Teacher - 2 yrs, Hayward Public Library HSC Supervisor - 3 yrs, MS Spanish & Math tutor - 1 yr, Nanny -7 yrs, Kiddie Corp Childcare - 2 yrs ongoing, Mother's Helper - 1y During childcare I focus on safety, fun, opportunities to learn, outdoor play, and morality. I believe in swapping screen time for interactive activities, the importance of physical health, reflecting on our actions, and high energy fun. My favorite way to spend downtime with kids includes: going outdoors, imaginative play, and crafts -- unless your child likes karaoke!!! You will always get periodical updates if you choose, the kids will always have my full attention, and you can count on an energetic, experienced, detail-oriented, and committed childcare provider. I am open-minded, flexible, and I value communication.

"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."
