Catherine $16 per hour for 1 child

A little bit about me… Hello! My name is Catherine. I am 23 years old and a recent graduate from the University of Arizona with a bachelor's degree in psychology. I have been working with children ages 3 months - 12 years old for the past 3 and a half years at the LA Fitness kids club as well as some occasional babysitting. Studying Psychology has taught me a lot about how to understand people, especially children. I’ve taken a few developmental psychology-related courses and have learned so much about what makes children happy and thrive as they are learning about the world and their environment! Children make me happy, the most important thing I’ve learned in my early adulthood is to never grow out of the inner child within you

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
