Kiarra Charleston
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kiarra and I am currently a first year college student pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education, driven by a deep passion for working with children. Since a young age, I’ve been drawn to helping others but specifically helping kids grow and learn, whether through tutoring, volunteering at local after-school programs, or organizing activities for children in my community. I work in a daycare while also running my own babysitting business, as well as mentorship program on the side. I am particularly interested in creating inclusive, creative, and supportive environments where every child can thrive. My goal is to become a teacher who not only educates but also inspires and nurtures the potential in every child I meet. As I continue my studies, I am dedicated to gaining practical experience and making a positive impact in the lives of young learners. Also being that I work in a day care, I am first aid and CPR qualified:)

Amanda Urbana
$23 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Amanda and I'm a reliable and hardworking 26 year old caregiver. I’m incredibly passionate about raising kind, intelligent, strong, and creative human beings. With 8 years of experience as a professional nanny, I have extensive knowledge of child development and what it takes to support children through each stage of life. I lean into warmth, connection, and creativity while incorporating fun and educational activities into everyday life. I believe one of the most important things I can ever teach children is that every moment—however mundane it may be—is an opportunity for learning, growing, and having fun! Some of the responsibilities I’ve taken on as a nanny have included: -Planning age-appropriate activities to develop physical, emotional, and intellectual growth -Managing schedules -Cooking/feeding -Sleep/nap training -Potty training -Driving children to/from school, sports, play dates, etc. -Homework help -Laundry -General house tidying -Home organization -Grocery shopping or other errands -Any other miscellaneous child-related tasks In addition to building warm and nurturing relationships with the children I care for, I really value building strong relationships with the families I work for, as I recognize it truly does take a village. I look forward to connecting and possibly joining your village!

"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."
