samiya $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Samiya, and I have a true passion for caring for children and helping them grow in a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I am a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with over three years of experience working with children of different ages and abilities through babysitting and behavioral therapy. I also have experience as a Mental Health Technician (MHT), which has strengthened my communication, patience, problem-solving, and caregiving skills. I’m currently pursuing my degree in psychology, which has given me an even deeper understanding of child development and positive behavior support. I enjoy planning engaging activities like arts and crafts, reading, games, outdoor play, and educational activities that keep children entertained while encouraging learning and creativity. I’m also happy to help with homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, diaper changes, light housekeeping, and pet care. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children with someone they can trust, so I always strive to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. Families describe me as patient, responsible, organized, and easy to communicate with. I take pride in building positive relationships with both children and parents, and I treat every child with kindness, respect, and individualized attention. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and positive environment where children feel happy, confident, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind knowing their little ones are in good hands.

Kianna $17 per hour for 1 child

I’m a caring, dependable sitter with several years of experience working with children in both professional and personal settings. I currently work at a youth center providing before- and after-school care, where I work with different age groups and help create a safe, structured, and engaging environment. My experience includes leading activities, assisting with homework and daily routines, supporting positive behavior, helping children work through conflicts, and making sure every child feels included and supported. I also have previous experience providing one-on-one support to children with autism and developmental needs, as well as babysitting and daycare experience. These experiences have helped me become patient, attentive, adaptable, and comfortable working with children who have different personalities, abilities, and individual needs. I genuinely love working with kids and enjoy being someone they can feel comfortable, safe, and supported around. I love keeping children engaged through arts and crafts, games, creative activities, outdoor play, experiments, and age-appropriate learning activities. I also enjoy helping children build confidence, independence, social skills, and positive habits while still allowing them to have fun and be themselves. Safety and communication are very important to me, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable leaving their children in someone else’s care. I’m responsible, reliable, and willing to work with each family’s routines and expectations. While I currently work in before- and after-school care, I’m open to transitioning into a full-time nanny or childcare position for the right family. If a family is looking for consistent full-time care and the schedule, responsibilities, and rate are a good fit for both of us, I’d be happy to discuss making childcare my primary role.

"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."
