Almarah $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Almarah and I just graduated from Muhlenberg College with a B.A. in Media and Communications and Theatre. I am offering child care, dog care, and household tasks. I've been working with children since 8th grade, when I began tutoring Sunday School at my synagogue for elementary schoolers. I tutored all throughout high school, where I developed a passion for caring for children, as well as gaining experience in curriculum development and planning activities for children. I've spent a few summers as a camp counselor for children ranging from kindergarten through middle school and am very comfortable with any children in this age range, though I'm willing to care for younger kids as well! I spent last summer driving 12-24 middle schoolers around the bay, so I'm happy to bring your kids to any activities or classes they've got planned! I can cook, clean, do laundry, and run errands. I have the most experience in dog care but am open to working with other pets if I seem like the right fit your family!

Valeria $32 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Valeria, and I am currently looking for a new position because the children I have cared for over the past three years — one of them since birth — are now attending school full-time. I continue to support the family a few days a week by helping with children’s laundry and cooking until I find a new full-time role. I offer babysitting, nanny, elder care, and light housekeeping services. I truly love being a nanny and have experience caring for newborns, babies, toddlers, and older children since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included dropping off and picking up children from school, doing crafts, helping with homework, and taking children to extracurricular activities such as dance classes. I also work as a domestic assistant and am comfortable with cooking, cleaning, and grocery shopping. In the United States, I have worked as a nanny, cleaner, delivery driver, and Lyft driver. In Brazil, I worked as a nursing technician, caring for elderly patients and children, and assisting with procedures and minor surgeries. I am comfortable with pets and happy to work with families who have them.

"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."
