I am always recognized by friends and colleagues as a caring, uplifting, and dependable person who truly enjoys supporting children and families. I have more to give with creative background and Bi-lingual educational background can support more for children to learn, grow, and feel safe, happy, and loved. My previous homeschooling experience with a loving family has given me a strong foundation in creating a supportive and playful environment, and caring for children with age appropriate needs, and assist with daily routines, outdoors(playground and museum activities), school transportation, homework, creative activities, light household help, and healthy meals. I also have a reliable car, a clean driving record, and CPR & AED certification through the American Heart Association. Thank you for considering me to care for your children and support your family needs.

"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."
