Hello! Organized, patient mama to three boys (ages 7, 6, and 2). My ex husband and I share custody, and I help a few friends with their kids on my days off/weekends, errands, party planning etc. I’ve enjoyed it and just want to offer support to families who may also need another trusted set of hands and a caring presence. I bring positivity and kindness to everything I do. Super(mom) productive and experienced in managing multiple routines, caring for 5 children at once, and supporting emotional regulation with calm energy.

"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."
