I am a dedicated childcare provider and a current teacher at a licensed daycare, bringing both professional training and extensive hands-on experience to families. I've been actively babysitting since I was 18, specializing in the care of toddlers and school-age children up to 13yrs old. My background gives me expertise in creating safe, engaging, and educational environments, managing routines, and providing reliable support. While I enjoy unwinding with friends, walks, and binge-watching shows in my free time, I bring a calm, positive, and energetic approach to my work, prioritizing your children’s well-being and happiness.

"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."
