Melanie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I'm Melanie! I'm 24 years old and currently studying Psychology. I have over four years of experience as a babysitter and nanny, working with children of all ages-from infants to preteens. I believe my psychology major allows me to better understand children's emotional, cognitive, and developmental needs. This knowledge helps me create a nurturing environment where kids can thrive and learn in a way that's developmentally appropriate for their age. I am patient, creative, and imaginative. I enjoy using these qualities to create fun and engaging activities. I love playing outdoor sports, physical games, board games, puzzles, and educational activities that promote learning. Craft-making is also one of my favorites! Additionally, I speak both English and Spanish, have my own car, and can provide references. I look forward to meeting your family and supporting your children's growth and development in any way I can!

"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."
