Paloma $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Paloma! I’m a warm, positive, and creative caregiver with experience in infant/toddler care and tutoring school-age kids in English, art, and music. I’m studying child psychology and I plan to become a therapist specializing in neurodivergent and special needs children, kids' mental health, different family structures, and multicultural families. I have a drivers license, a car, and a perfect driving record, plus CPR/First Aid training for adults, children, and infants. I believe in affirming kids' sense of self from a young age and building trust and confidence through open communication with the parents about boundaries, expectations, and each child's unique needs. I love using cooking, music, art, and play to help children learn to express themselves in a healthy way. I can also teach basic ASL to kids still developing verbal skills! I love pets and can help with homework too! Feel free to reach out if you think we would be a good fit or if you have any other questions for me!

Hi - My name is Matel. I’m currently a caregiver. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services.

"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."
