Hi, My name is JaLiyah! I am an extremely patient, understanding, and compassionate person. I have over 4 years of experience working with newborn age up until age 12. At the beginning of my childcare journey around early 2020 I provided care for two families long term one family with a 3-year-old and another with a 6-year-old and 10-year-old. Currently, I provide on call care for about 3 families with kids of ages 2 years up until 12 years old. I have extensive experience with helping children with academic work, social skills, sensory enrichment activities and much more. I want to be an extra source of support for families and provide a helping hand. Please do not hesitate to ask me for any variation of help! For the most part my schedule is open all day and most nights if needed. I am always willing to accommodate and work with families to best meet their schedules and necessities. I hope to see you soon!

Jessica $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jessica, I'm 24 years old, and I'm currently earning my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, specializing in LMFT/LPCC to become a therapist. I have classes in the evenings, so I'm available during early mornings and afternoons. I've been babysitting since I was 13 and have worked as a full-time nanny for four children, so caring for kids has always come naturally to me. I bring an empathetic, patient, and nurturing approach to everything I do. I live a very active, healthy lifestyle - I love working out, going on walks or hikes, cooking, and spending time outdoors. I'm dependable, always on time (usually early!), and bring a positive, outgoing energy to any environment. I truly love helping others and creating a fun, safe, and supportive atmosphere wherever I go.

"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."
