Andrea $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Andrea, and I’m passionate about caring for both kids and animals. I have a year of experience working with children and am currently a Campus Supervisor at an elementary school. I’m also CPR certified and studying to become a teacher. Working with kids is truly my calling! In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience with pet care. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare, have done plenty of dog sitting, and I’m a proud cat parent to two sweet kitties, so I’m happy to offer cat sitting as well. With my background and dedication, you can trust that your children and pets will be in safe, caring, and reliable hands.

"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."
