Hello! My name is Jessica and I have 7+ years of experience working with children. My accumulation of experience is based off of both nannying (one time/part-time/long term) as well as having been a teaching assistant. My favorite part about child care is creating memorable experiences both for and with families as well as being able to be a reliable source of support and assistance. What I’d say makes me a stand out is that my approach with children is gentle and patient - I am big on reinforcing good behavioral traits and re-shaping those that can use improvement to be a source of empowerment and positive self esteem. In 2022 I became a Foothill College graduate, of which took part in my knowledge of engaging with kids. During my time at Foothill, I took several child development courses and took a grand interest in interacting with them/learning about them. Prior to this, I had worked for a program called STK under the Foothill Deanza Community College District Family Engagement Institute for over 4 years. Essentially, I worked as both and intern and mentor in that program, working with and leading nearly over 20+ children in classrooms per day and training interns on how to interact with children, teach children and engaging with children. Currently, I am attaining my bachelors degree and am enrolled as a full time student. Aside from taking care of children, I have experience with pet sitting! Whether it’s coming to your residence or bringing the pet with me for the time necessary, I could do either or. The majority of my skill set is centered around dogs and cats. If you wish to know anything else about me, please feel free to reach out. Otherwise, thank you for your time.

"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."
