Hi! My name is Emily, and I am currently a senior in high school, play volleyball. I have been caring for children since I was 15 years old and truly enjoy working with kids. I am responsible, patient, caring, and dependable. I can help with homework, prepare simple meals, play games, do arts and crafts, and keep children safe and entertained. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and would be happy to help children practice Spanish as well. I currently work in housekeeping, so I also have experience with cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a tidy home. I have my own vehicle and can provide transportation for children or adults to appointments, school, activities, or other places when needed. I am comfortable helping families with different needs and always respect their routines and household rules. I look forward to finding a family I can build a trusting and positive relationship with!

“Emily has worked for me in the past and she is very responsible, caring, and reliable. She is great with children, very patient, and always makes sure they are safe and comfortable. She is trustworthy, respectful, and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a dependable babysitter.”

"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."
