vanessa $29 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm Vanessa. I recently completed my Early Childhood Education program and have experience working with both preschool and school-age children. I love creating a fun, safe, and caring environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. Outside of work, I also help care for my three nephews, so being around children has always been a big part of my life. I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and have fun!

Jaybriel $26 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jaybriel 21 and Filipino! I’m a responsible, energetic, and caring person who enjoys helping others and creating a positive environment. Random fact, I am a Virgo, I’m naturally attentive, organized, patient, and detail oriented, which helps me create a safe and supportive space for the people I care for. Some of my hobbies include hiking, biking, and learning how to play the guitar. I’m also a huge family guy! I’m currently majoring in arts and film, which has helped me become very creative, expressive, and open minded. I enjoy bringing creativity into everyday activities, whether that’s through arts, music, storytelling, or fun activities. I’m very friendly, dependable, and easy to get along with. I enjoy building connections, making people feel comfortable, and being someone families can rely on. I’m also active and creative, so I enjoy keeping kids engaged through games, outdoor activities, arts, music, and helping with homework or daily routines. I have experience helping care for younger family members and assisting with household tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a clean and welcoming space. I’m also comfortable around pets and happy to help with pet care if needed. I’d describe myself as adaptable, hardworking, trustworthy, and someone who genuinely enjoys making a positive impact on others!

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
