Nurturing young minds and fostering their development is my passion. As a certified nursing assistant, I've gained invaluable experience caring for newborns and children with disabilities. My approach is patient and calm, and I prioritize open communication with you, following your preferred method for updates on your child's day. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy engaging children with outdoor sports, educational games, and even some technology-based fun. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I am comfortable caring for up to four children, ages 0-14. I am excited to bring my dedication and skills to your family, creating a safe and enriching environment for your little ones to thrive!

Mayra $21 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Mayra! I am currently offering childcare and housekeeping.I have started a degree in education and hope to finish soon! I began baby sitting for family members at 12 years old. At 18, I began working with school ages 5 and up in Sunday school. Eventually, I applied at a daycare at 19 and started in the infant room. Equipped with crucial knowledge and CPR classes, I am comfortable working with any age group. Crafts and fun activities are usually my favorite things to do with children.

"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."
