Sharon $30 per hour for 1 child

I've been working with kids for about five years, from infants to school-age, and I adjust naturally depending on their stage and personality. I'm very hands-on and I like having a clear flow to the day so things feel calm and predictable, but still fun. Most days include getting outside (park time whenever possible), making friends along the way, cooking together (and being okay with the super mess), or fully getting into whatever game or story they're excited about. I've worked through everything from diapers and first words to homework and after-school projects, so I know how to shift my approach based on what each child actually needs. One thing I really focus on is making life easier for parents. That means staying on top of routines, communicating clearly, and creating a space where things feel organized, smooth, and reliable, so they can feel confident that everything is taken care of. I'm adaptable, patient, and my goal is for kids to feel comfortable and excited in their day. And learning!

Olu-Ebube $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate, dependable caregiver with a strong background in childcare, senior care, and household support, grounded in my work as a postpartum doula and direct-care provider. I have hands-on experience supporting families with infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and elders, and I bring a calm, nurturing, and safety-focused presence into every home I serve. As a doula, I specialize in emotional support, routine building, infant care, feeding support, soothing techniques, and creating a peaceful, organized environment for families. I am deeply attentive to children’s emotional and developmental needs and enjoy engaging them in age-appropriate activities such as reading, creative play, music, gentle movement, and outdoor time. I also have experience providing non-medical senior care, including companionship, light meal prep, household assistance, and cognitive-supportive engagement for elders with memory or mobility challenges. I am patient, respectful, and attentive to individual needs and dignity. In addition to caregiving, I offer household support services such as light cleaning, laundry, organization, simple cooking, and errand assistance, helping families feel supported and less overwhelmed. I am CPR/First Aid trained, reliable, and committed to creating a safe, warm, and supportive environment for those in my care.

"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."
