Yoselin $35 per hour for 1 child

I had the pleasure of working with a family for over seven years, caring for their children throughout many important stages of their lives. When I first began, I cared for their 3-year-old, their 9-year-old, and later helped care for their newborn. During my time with the family, I provided dependable and compassionate care, including overnight and live-in support whenever needed while the parents traveled out of town for work meetings in Sacramento. I always treated the children with patience, love, and responsibility, and I became someone the family could truly rely on. Although it was difficult to leave, I relocated and I am very grateful for the support and encouragement the family gave me throughout that decision. This is the reason behind my ongoing journey with being a nanny. Warm, dependable, and attentive nanny with hands-on experience caring for children of various ages.

"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."
