I have over 5 years of experience caring for children (mostly from 0 to 4 years old, including infants from 0 to 11 months), as well as helping older adults and taking care of pets. I truly enjoy creating a warm and safe environment for little ones — I’m calm, kind, and very patient. I’ve also spent several years helping seniors with everyday needs. I used to drive them to doctor’s appointments, help with grocery shopping, run errands, and spend quality time with them. I always try to make sure they feel supported, respected, and not alone. I’m comfortable with both cats and dogs, and I have experience feeding them, walking dogs, and helping keep the home clean and peaceful. I have my own car, a valid driver’s license, and I’m reliable, organized, and caring. My English is basic but clear — families find me easy to work with, and I always give my best.

Hello, I am currently available on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Hope something works out! :) I have experience working with little ones, adolescents, and adults with special needs in various settings. I've worked taking care of kids for years. I love kids; they're all unique and fun. I prefer to work with older children versus infants. If needed, I would send updates to the parents about how the day is going with pictures. Although it is more than worth my time and energy to care for your little one, it is important that I am compensated for the time originally agreed upon, even if you arrive earlier. I do require a 24-hour cancellation notice. I reserved that special time just for you. I am bilingual and have been told that people are very receptive to me. Look forward to meeting you and your family. Thank You! :)) (updated 07/2026)

Have been taking care of my shiba inu since 3 months old who has now gotten up to 15 years and still going! Trusted dog & cat sitter for several people at this point and recurring for many because I take the job seriously

Highly professional, reliable, and was able to assist during a last minute pet sitting booking! Would also recommend hiring for tutoring as they also offer that service

"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."
