Joanna 1 review
$27 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I am a warm, attentive and enthusiastic person who loves taking care of children and people of all ages. I have 10 years of experience working with children, first as a Montessori preschool teacher assistant, then as a day care worker for infants and toddlers and also as a substitute teacher. As a substitute teacher I had a preference for special education and I enjoy working with special needs children of all ages. I have training in Montessori Early Childhood Education and I have really seen the benefits of the Montessori Method, especially in the early years. I love being outside and exploring in nature. I have a love for learning and I love to help children to discover the joy of learning and nurture their creativity. Thank you for considering me as a caregiver!

“Joanna has been babysitting my son since he was two; he’s now four. I love the energy she brings—she’s incredibly musical and creative. She often brings her guitar and sings with a beautiful voice that my son adores. It lifts not only his spirits but mine as well. She’s a blessing to any household that hires her.”

I have experience working with children of various ages and backgrounds through my roles as a Youth Program Leader with the Boys & Girls Club and as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) supporting children with special needs, specifically autism. These experiences have strengthened my skills in behavior support, supervision, communication, and creating safe, engaging environments where children can learn and thrive. In August, I will be pursuing a Master of Science in Human Factors Engineering here in the Bay Area and am seeking a full-time/part-time caregiver position while completing my graduate studies.

I am passionate about supporting children's growth, development, and well-being and look forward to providing compassionate and reliable care.

Korinne $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I am energetic, creative, mindful, and I enjoy helping others. With 17yrs of professional childcare experience, including running a large after school program at an elementary school via Hayward Public Library, I've been able to help bring siblings together, keep hundreds of Bay Area families reassured of their childcare choice, and teach kids several skills -- including chess, soccer, musical theater, dance, and Spanish. Professional roles: Camp Galileo Team Leader - 3yrs, Beechwood School PreK & Kinder aide - 1 y, Beechwood Substitute Teacher - 2 yrs, Hayward Public Library HSC Supervisor - 3 yrs, MS Spanish & Math tutor - 1 yr, Nanny -7 yrs, Kiddie Corp Childcare - 2 yrs ongoing, Mother's Helper - 1y During childcare I focus on safety, fun, opportunities to learn, outdoor play, and morality. I believe in swapping screen time for interactive activities, the importance of physical health, reflecting on our actions, and high energy fun. My favorite way to spend downtime with kids includes: going outdoors, imaginative play, and crafts -- unless your child likes karaoke!!! You will always get periodical updates if you choose, the kids will always have my full attention, and you can count on an energetic, experienced, detail-oriented, and committed childcare provider. I am open-minded, flexible, and I value communication.

"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."
