Liz $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a 34yo Certified Montessori Teacher from ages zero to six, with over 5 years of experience of childcare in the States (4 years as a Montessori lead guide in a Toddler Community ) and over 8 in my home country, Colombia. I am organized, creative and kind. I respect children and their minds, and enjoy being their company and guide while they discover the world through experience and joy. And as a plus, I was born and raised in Colombia, so I speak Spanish fluently!

Booked by 3 families in Orinda, CA

I'm the oldest daughter in my family, which meant I started caring for my younger siblings and cousins from an early age, and it's where my love for kids truly began. That experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to keep things fun even on busy days. I'm an active nature lover, and I bring that passion into how I care for kids. I love finding creative ways to keep children engaged and connected to the outdoors, whether that's reading together in the park, going on nature walks, or planning day camping trips. I believe some of the best learning happens outside. I'm also pet-friendly and comfortable caring for animals alongside children, and I take pride in keeping a clean, organized home environment. Families can count on me to bring warmth, structure, and a genuine love of kids into their household.

“Asmayt was fantastic! She arrived on time, was great with my kids, and they even asked when she was coming back after she left because they were sad for her to leave. I highly recommend her!”

Nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's a genuine passion. For the past nine years, I've dedicated myself to creating enriching environments where children can thrive. My approach is rooted in patience, creativity, and open communication. I provide regular updates via text or phone call, and I always follow the parents' lead when it comes to household rules. I enjoy engaging children with board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I am comfortable caring for up to four children and have experience with special needs children. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications, along with Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Child Development coursework. I'm happy to assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, and travel. I'm also comfortable with pets. Knowing I can make a positive impact on a child's life brings me immense joy, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones.

"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."
