Hi - My name is Krystle and I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a nanny and have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 14 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from school, attending extracurricular activities, crafts and homework help. Currently I care for 3 children (Newborn, 1 & 3 years old) full-time. I’m full-time with my current family until mid-late April. My availability will be limited until then. I can provide references from previous families and current family. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I am allergic to cats but happy to work with families with dogs. I look forward to working with your family! ✔️ Vaccinated ✔️ CPR Certified ✔️ Drivers License & Insurance ✔️ Newborn Experience ✔️ School-Age Experience ✔️ Kosher Kitchen Experience

"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."
