Hi families! I am a nurturing, and reliable caregiver with over 9 years of experience supporting families and caring for children from newborns to teenagers. My journey began by caring for my own 4 siblings, which sparked a deep passion for creating safe, loving, and engaging environments where children can grow and thrive. I’m currently pursuing my degree in Mechanical Engineering. I’m also multilingual, fluent in English, Pashto, Urdu, and Farsi, with conversational skills in Arabic, Turkish, and German. I’ve completed my CPR training, studied child development courses and worked as a teaching assistant at an elementary school and preschool, which has given me valuable insight into children’s growth and learning. I understand how demanding parenting can be, and it’s always been my goal to support parents by offering peace of mind, flexibility, and trustworthy care. I offer a wide range of support, including: Childcare: - Engaging kids in safe, fun, educational activities suited to their age and interests. - Experiments (like baking soda volcanoes!), arts and crafts, and team games like “Freeze Dance” and more. - Multilingual storytelling to support language development. Pet-Care: Experience with cats, dogs, and parrots in feeding, walking, or playtime. Housekeeping/ Household Care: Cleaning, errands, laundry, shopping, cooking/meal prep (including dietary needs), medication reminders, and more. I approach every family’s needs different with kindness, care, and flexibility. I am always open to feedback and focused on creating the best possible experience for families and loved ones. Thank you for considering my profile and reading. I’d love to connect and learn how I can support your family. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to chat!

"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."
