Audrey $24 per hour for 1 child

I'd describe my personality as Patient , kind, dependable and attentive I've spent most of my life helping care for children, which naturally taught me patience, responsibility, organization, and how to create a fun and nurturing environment for kids. I love engaging children in creative activities, pretend play, outdoor time, and helping them learn through fun experiences. I've been babysitting since my freshman year of college, so I'm very comfortable managing routines, preparing meals and snacks, keeping play areas and kitchens tidy, and helping maintain an organized space. I'm also comfortable around pets, and I genuinely enjoy helping families keep things running smoothly however I can. I take initiative, pay attention to detail, and always aim to create a safe, positive, and caring environment for children. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and become someone your daughter or son feels comfortable, happy, and excited to spend time with. Your child's safety and comfort are my top priorities.I show up on time, keep your kids safe, and make sure they feel cared for and respected while you're away. I have childcare experience in both caregiving and nurturing roles and i am passionate about creating caring, engaging, and supportive environments for children. I’m dependable, attentive, organized, and deeply value building trust with both children and families.

"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."
