In addition to my teaching experience, I’ve also been a nanny for several families, caring for children of various ages, including newborns and toddlers. I’ve cared for up to nine children at a time and pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive. I am CPR and First Aid certified, fingerprinted, and have a clear background check. I hold degrees in Social and Behavioral Science and Elementary Education, along with a Culinary Certificate, and I specialize in supporting children with behavioral and developmental needs. I would describe myself as honest, dependable, and dedicated,I truly love what I do and treat every child I care for as if they were my own.

"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."
