Chong-Chun $25 per hour for 1 child

Grew up helping my late grandmother take care of neighbors’ and relatives’ children, from infants to elementary schoolers. Have taken care of dozens of children. Played with them, helped with their homework, and fed them while complying with parents’ rules. I believe the care, education, discipline, and love for children form the necessary foundation of our society. Also helped host and take care of rescue dogs, and house-sat and occasionally did light cleaning. Also took care of my late grandma when she got cancer, so I'm experienced in taking care of seniors as well. Responsible, experienced, and flexible to help take care of your loved ones.

"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."
