Emily $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a recent graduate from UCLA with a Bachelor’s degree in English and Professional Writing with years of experience in childcare, tutoring, and family support. As the eldest sibling in a large family, I played a huge role in helping raise my four younger brothers (ages 5–16), supporting them with schoolwork, routines, and daily care — so working with kids truly feels second nature to me. I’ve also worked professionally as a nanny, babysitter, and tutor for children from 6 months to 9 years old, and currently tutor students from elementary through college level. I’m patient, dependable, and great at building positive, encouraging relationships with kids of all ages. Childcare: I’m comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, school-age kids, and teens. I love doing creative activities like reading, arts and crafts, and helping with homework, as well as keeping kids engaged through play and structured routines. I offer tutoring support, homework help, and light meal prep. Pet Care: I’m comfortable around pets and happy to help with feeding, walking, playtime, and general care. I’m responsible and attentive, and as a pet owner myself I understand how important it is that pets feel safe and cared for when their owners are away. Household Services: I have experience with light housekeeping, organizing, errands, and helping families keep things running smoothly. I’m happy to assist with laundry, tidying, dishes, and basic meal prep. I’m certified in food handling, and I bring a calm, organized, and caring presence to every home I work in. I’d love to support your family however I can!

"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."
