Angie $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Angie, and I'm a responsible, caring, and dependable caregiver with several years of experience working with children of all ages. I had currently worked a pre school, where I care for toddlers in a classroom setting, helping with learning activities, playtime, meals, naps, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I'm also studying to become a nurse, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and commitment to children's well-being. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and love planning fun, engaging activities like arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games. I'm happy to help with homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and pet care if needed. Families describe me as reliable, trustworthy, and attentive, and I always strive to make children feel safe, happy, and supported while giving parents peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your family!

Booked by 1 family in Petaluma, CA

Hi, my name is Iryna and I am a former preschool teacher. I worked at the nature school in Texas that focused on outside classroom environment and regio inspired education. I loved working with children in the environment where they can climb trees, go on daily hikes, and interact with the nature as an educational tool. I received a degree in education specializing in special education from University of Houston. Additionally, I worked as a nanny, caregiver to seniors as well as household assistant. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I recently moved to Sonoma CA and really enjoy the area. In my free time I enjoy hiking and spending time with my friends and family. I am a big animal lover, I am a mom to two fur babies Danny and Jazz.

"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."
