Lauren $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Lauren and I provide childcare out of my home in Petaluma. I'm a mom of two (ages 9 and 12) and have been babysitting since I was 13 with 11 years of full-time childcare experience. I'm CPR & First Aid certified. I have a 5 star rating on my Care.com profile and many references. I am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and welcoming environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for. Our days are usually filled with playtime, learning activities and lots of interaction. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, patient and easy to work with. I know how important it is for parents to feel confident and comfortable leaving their children in someone else's care. I treat every child like they are part of the family. I currently offer care in my home for infants and toddlers. I'm happy to answer any questions and would love to see if we'd be a good fit!

"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."
