Hi, My name is Sandrita but you can also call me Sandy! I work with kids/students of all ages to create a safe, positive environment where they feel comfortable and cared for. I have prior babysitting experience and currently serve in the children’s ministry at my church caring for 2-3 year-olds. I’ve also worked with elementary aged kids and also have led high school student groups and summer camps, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of ages. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment through play, reading, and simple routines, and I’m happy to help with preparing meals and snacks. I’m bilingual as I speak both English and Spanish. I also maintain a non-smoking and alcohol-free lifestyle. I enjoy building positive, meaningful connections with the children I care for and would love the opportunity to support your family as your babysitter!

"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."
