Savannah $35 per hour for 1 child

Hi families! My name is Savannah, and I’m 24 years old with over 6 years of childcare experience. I truly love working with children and helping them learn, grow, and feel safe in their environment. I have experience caring for kids of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, including helping raise and care for my 6–7 nieces and nephews. I’m currently in school pursuing nursing, which has strengthened my knowledge of child development, safety, and health. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to each child’s individual needs. I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities like arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, and educational games that support their development. I also love staying active—I enjoy swimming and was a swim instructor, as well as a swimmer in high school. I love spending time outdoors, taking kids on walks, and going to the park. In addition, I’m happy to help around the house with cooking, cleaning, and even baking, which I love to do with kids when appropriate. Families would describe me as dependable, nurturing, and positive. My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving their little ones in my care.

"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."
