As a responsible, calm, and patient 24-year-old babysitter, I have 4 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to teenagers. I'm fluent in American Sign Language, English, and Spanish, making me well-equipped to communicate with diverse families. I'm comfortable working with children who have special needs, including anxiety disorders, autism, deafness, food allergies, OCD, physical limitations, tics, visual impairments, asthma, ADHD, ODD, CD, and epilepsy. My skills include reading, language, crafting, music, and games, and I'm happy to assist with homework. I'm also comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and have a reliable car and driver's license. With an Associate of Arts degree, I'm dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment for your children. I'd be excited to meet your family and discuss how I can contribute to your childcare needs. I look forward to working with you and your family!

Hi - My name is Britney I’m currently a student this year’s fall semester is my last semester. I’ve been around kids/children my whole life. I’ve always babysit my baby cousins, nieces & nephews when my love ones need them some “ME TIME” :) . Children are a bundle of joy & I love it . On my free time I like to cook , listen to Audio books, ride bikes , & do fun activities 🤍 I’m so excited!

“We had a paid interview with Britney. She was early—and so warm and engaging with our 7 and 10 year old, even when one of them threw a gigantic tantrum. We are all forward to getting to know Britney even more. :)”

— I am taking a break from childcare to handle some things in my personal life. Thank you for viewing my profile, and have a blessed day. ❤️ •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• *MORE ABOUT MYSELF* I have 9 years of childcare experience, working with ages 2 months - 14 years old. I am also a parent of a six year old who has highly-functioning ASD, so I enjoy being an independent childcare provider as it allows more flexibility in my schedule. Being a parent of child with special needs also means that I have first hand experience! I feel that I am great at creating structure for children, while also creating a safe and comfortable environment in which they can learn + grow! I have my ECE Level 1 Credential, First Aid/CPR Certification, as well as Food Service Manager Certification. Ultimately, my goal is to make you and your family’s lives easier! I love to work aside thoughtful parents that understand while I am there to assist you, I also have a life of my own. I believe that good communication is essential and I will exercise it at all times. Thank you!

"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."
