Reliable Babysitter & Senior Caregiver with 6+ Years Care Experience I am a reliable and caring caregiver with 2 years of babysitting experience and 6 years of home care experience working with seniors and individuals with disabilities. I also have 6 years of cleaning experience and enjoy helping families keep their homes safe, clean, and organized. I am patient, responsible, and focused on providing a safe and supportive environment. I enjoy helping children learn, play, and feel comfortable, and I take pride in being dependable and trustworthy for the families I work with. As a parent, I understand the importance of attentive care. When appropriate, I may bring my well-behaved baby with me, while still providing responsible and focused care. While I am open to being around pets, I do have less experience with pet care compared to childcare and senior care. I am available for part-time or full-time positions and look forward to helping families with their caregiving needs.

Hi! My name is Myshira, and I’m a dedicated, dependable, and nurturing caregiver with a genuine passion for working with children. I’m a proud mom of three toddlers, CPR certified, and work as a Medical Assistant, giving me a strong background in health, safety, and compassionate care. I also serve as the secretary at my church, a role that has strengthened my organizational skills, reliability, and commitment to serving others. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 years old, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to learn and have fun. I enjoy helping with homework, preparing nutritious meals and snacks, and baking fun treats with kids. I’m also comfortable caring for family pets, including cats. My personality is warm, patient, outgoing, and energetic, and I truly enjoy building positive relationships with both children and their families. I take pride in being someone parents can trust to care for their children as if they were my own.

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.

"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."
