I am a Pre-school teacher with over 10yrs experience and have worked with all ages including pre-teens. I have over 33 units of early childhood education and have taught in different settings including Montessori, IB ( international Baccalaureate) and also learning through play curriculum. I have also been a nanny and sitter over the years ranging from infants to teens. My philosophy is helping the children feel safe and happy to express them selves through curiosity. I love what I do and enjoy being with children and have fun with them as they learn about the world around them. I also tutor the little ones, light house keeping and meal prep is not a problem. I can work over the holidays as well and one family commitment with a reasonable rate adjustment. Looking forward to hearing from you!

"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."
