Jakaira 3 reviews
$19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Jakaira, but you can call me Kai. I am 19 years old and currently attending college part-time to pursue a nursing career. I am also a beginner caregiver for older adults. I have over 10 years of childcare experience, as I have been helping care for children since I was 9 years old. Over the years, I have discovered that I truly enjoy caring for children, building strong bonds with them, and developing positive relationships with their families. I love helping children learn new things, creating fun activities, and getting to know each child’s unique personality. I am also happy to help with homework, clean up after activities, and prepare simple meals when needed. In my free time, I enjoy painting, being creative, and coming up with fun and engaging activities for children. I was also a dancer throughout high school, which taught me discipline, patience, and teamwork. In addition to childcare, I am beginning my journey as a caregiver for older adults. While I am still gaining experience, I am a fast learner, dependable, and always willing to help. One of the things I enjoy most about caregiving is building meaningful connections, listening to people’s stories, and providing support when they need it. I am also comfortable around pets and have plenty of experience caring for dogs, as I grew up with them and currently have one of my own. I look forward to helping families by providing reliable, compassionate, and attentive care.

“I would recommend Jakaira White she is a good baby sitter and she's good with people and she's has excellent customer service and she's also an accelerated learner and she's very dependable person. she baby sitted for me in the past and I would recommend her for both positions”

I have a degree in Advertising and Marketing, and I bring not only responsibility and dedication but also a lot of creativity , a quality I apply in both childcare and daily tasks. I have experience with babies as young as 4 months old, as well as with children over 5 years old, always ensuring a safe, fun, and nurturing environment. I enjoy creating playful and educational activities tailored to each child’s age.

"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."
