I have been working with seniors for 17 years. I am a loyal and caring person who takes great pride in my job. Over the years, I have worked with many different people who required personalized care such as mental disabilities like Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, depression and anxiety. Many of my past clients had serious health concerns such as physical disabilities that required the use of a wheelchair or walker. Previously, I have worked with people with diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, and more. I am experienced in administrating medications, wound care and toileting. I am a very punctual person and I do not have many distractions in my personal life.

I am the oldest of 4 siblings , my youngest brother has Down syndrome and I was his primary care taker for many years so I have experience with children who need a little more patience than your normal kid. I also have 4 kids of my own ages 3-12 so I’m used to controlled chaos on the regular.

Hi, I’m Diamond! Working with kids is honestly my superpower. I currently work at a daycare with children from infants to 5 years old, and I’ve also helped run summer camps for kids of all ages. I’m active in youth ministry too, where I work with both little ones and teens, so I know how to connect, communicate, and keep things fun no matter the age group. I have all my childcare certifications, and i am CPR and First Aid trained for children and adults. Kids have always felt safe around me, I’ve got that natural connection that makes them open up, try new things, and step out of their comfort zone. Parents joke that I’m the “child whisperer” because of how quickly children gravitate toward me, and honestly… they might be onto something! I’m also big on being dependable and helpful beyond just babysitting. I have my own transportation, so I can handle pickups, drop-offs, and errands if needed. I believe in leaving a home better than I found it, which means cleaning up after activities, meals, and playtime is always part of the job for me. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, sticking to bedtime routines, or just making sure your child feels heard and cared for, I bring the energy, the patience, and the trust. Most importantly, I make sure kids have fun, while parents get peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, nurturing, and a little bit magical with kids, I’m your girl! 😊

Hello! I work at a daycare currently and have been there for about 2 years. I’ve worked with kids as young as 3 months up to 5 years old. I’ve always wanted to work with kids and it is always the best part of my day getting to teach them new things! I am CPR certified. I can work any hours Monday-Friday with occasional date nights on the weekends.

"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."
