Ayotomiwa $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a qualified caregiver that has worked with 5 seniors and 6 children. I also have nephews that I have watched while their parents work or need a night out. I would usually not watch a place look unkept or untidy so mostly I’m always putting things in place whether asked to or not. I have transportation and I always keep to time. I understand parents sometimes might run late and communication is all I need to make it easier for both the parents and I. I’m in school studying accounting so I can always help the kids with their homework or read to them. I can cook and can come with cleaning equipments when requested. I enjoy talking to kids cause they see the world differently and it’s a good way to make them talk about things that happen to them in school. I play tennis and enjoy watching people Play other sports.

"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."
