Lina Marcela $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello I’m Lina a caring, patient, and trustworthy caregiver who loves working with both children and pets. I’m currently a Digital Art & Animation student at Canada College, working toward my goal of earning a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design. Creativity is a big part of who I am, and I love bringing imagination, play, and positivity into every environment. I’m very responsible and experienced when it comes to caring for kids, including driving them safely to school, activities, or appointments. I’m also a big fan of the outdoors and enjoy taking children or dogs on walks, to parks, or for fun outdoor activities that keep them active and happy. I always create a safe, loving, and calm atmosphere where kids can learn and feel supported, and where pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well-cared for. Families can count on me for reliability, kindness, and excellent communication. I’m here to make life easier for parents and to give every child and pet the attention, care, and warmth they deserve.

"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."
