Harleen $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Harleen. I’m 23 and graduated from San Jose State University with a degree in Psychology. I currently work full time as a case manager during the weekdays and babysit on weekends. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14, when I started caring for my cousins who were 5, 7, and 12. I’ve also been on UrbanSitter for the past two years and have had the opportunity to work with many different families and children. This has given me experience with different ages, personalities, routines, and family preferences. I also have experience as a behavioral interventionist working with children on the autism spectrum. I’m responsible, patient, and easygoing, and I really enjoy spending time with kids through play, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and helping with their routines. I’m currently looking for occasional weekend or evening babysitting opportunities.

"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."
