Sophia $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am currently a senior at Norwalk High-school and I am enrolled in many classes at DMACC. I plan to major in early childhood education, potentially special education. I’ve worked at daycares for about 2 years now, and I love every minute of it. I believe it is so important that we make every child feel that they are loved and that they matter. I work with ages ranging from 3months to 10yrs, I also work in special education often. I love every minute of it and just being able to make kids feel safe in the time that they aren’t with there parents or caretakers. A normal day for me includes preparing snacks, helping with homework, playing outside with older kids, being down on the ground with babies, changing diapers, cleaning, preparing food(whether that be food or a bottle), organizing activities and so much more. I also have grown up with pets and am a really big animal lover and would be willing to pet sit as well.😊

Experienced, patient, and creative caregiver with a background in team leadership and client service. I bring warmth, structure, and fun to every home I support. Skilled with children of all ages, pets, and household coordination.

I bring that same care and attention to working with young children and seniors. Whether I’m creating fun, structured routines for toddlers, providing calm companionship for older adults, or managing pet care and household tasks, families know they can count on me.

"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."
