Jniya $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a naturally nurturing, patient, and dependable caregiver with real hands-on experience raising my own four-year-old daughter and providing in-home care for my elderly grandfather. I’ve always been the person family and friends call when they need help with children, and I’ve supported kids of all ages, including children with special needs. I’m calm, understanding, non-judgmental, and easy to work with, which helps kids feel safe and comfortable around me. I love creating a positive, caring environment where children can learn, have fun, and feel supported. Families can count on me to be responsible, warm, and fully present.

"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."
