Hi! I'm bilingual and speak both English and Spanish. I have a 6-year-old son, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children. I have experience caring for kids of different ages, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Whether it's playing games, doing crafts, reading books, or helping with homework, I love creating a fun, safe, and caring environment. I'm patient, reliable, and would love the opportunity to support your family!

"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."
