I am a full-time Teacher Assistant at a school, where I work closely with toddler age children to support their learning, routines, and emotional development. I also attend college, where I am continuing my education and building skills that strengthen my ability to work with families. Through my work experience as an assistant teacher and occasional babysitter for neighbors, I have gained hands-on experience providing care, structure, and patience while helping children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. I genuinely love caregiving because I enjoy building trusting relationships and being someone children and families can rely on. On a personal note, I am a very patient, responsible, and warm person who values kindness and consistency, and I take pride in creating a positive and nurturing environment wherever I work.

"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."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
