Hi, my name is Itzel. I am currently in college working on my associates for Nursing pediatric care. I enjoy being active and playing sports. I’ve been babysitting and senior care since I was about 16 years old and I enjoy it. Being able to spend time with children and others is great. I enjoy watching them grow and being able to support them. Being creative and teaching new activities as well as learning new things they also like. Staying organized and helping others also makes me happy especially when it also makes them happy. Also organizing and cleaning is very important for safety.

"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."
