emma $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Em, I’m a nineteen year old college student looking for a part-time babysitting job. I grew up watching my younger sister, as well as both of my nieces when I turned seventeen. I also offer pet-sitting as I have had several dogs in the past and two of my own at the moment. In high school, I volunteered as a teacher’s assistant for an English language class, and although I would love to go back to that, I have to finish school first. I look forward to hearing from you and your families soon!

"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."
