Emma $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Emma, I am 18 years old, from San Diego, Ca. I have been babysitting for over 4 years and have experience caring for children of many different ages and many different personalities. I have also had experience working with children with autism/ADHD, which has helped me become even more patient, understanding, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I genuinely love kids and spending time with kids. I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for. I like doing fun activities with the kids, such as playing games, crafts, playing with toys, dancing, and just making sure they have a great. I am responsible, caring, patient, and dependable, and I always treat every child with kindness. I’m also open to helping with chores, meal prepping, and caring for any pets. I have my own car and drivers license, and am currently working on getting my CPR certificate. I look forward to the opportunity of being able to help you and your family! :)

I have 3 younger siblings that I’ve cared for my whole life, and I was a childcare attendant for a year and a half for infants-8 year olds. I lived in China for 2 years, and while I was there I spent my time working with children of all ages, teaching them english, lots of activities, and worked alongside children with autism and terminal illnesses. I grew up assisting in the nursery-5th grade at churches 1-3x per week. I’ve babysat kids from all ages, newborn to young teens. I love the gym, time outside, old movies, and Jesus! I would be more than happy to answer any questions you have and I look forward to hearing from you!

"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."
