DMyria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is D'Myria, and I'm 22 years old. I'm a dependable, caring, and hardworking person looking for a stable, consistent position as a babysitter, companion caregiver for seniors, or housekeeper. I have years of hands-on caregiving experience from helping raise my three younger siblings, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment. I'm also great with older adults and enjoy being someone they can rely on for companionship, assistance with daily tasks, light housekeeping, meal preparation, errands, or simply providing company. I'm an animal lover with a miniature dachshund named Minnie and a kitten named Hi-Wei, so I'm comfortable working in homes with small pets. (At this time, I'm only willing to work around small pets.) I'm a licensed driver, but I currently don't have my own vehicle, so I use Uber for transportation. Because of that, my rate starts at $18.50 per hour, with adjustments based on job responsibilities and travel distance. I'm fun, reliable, respectful, and always willing to go the extra mile. My goal is to find a long-term opportunity where I can make a positive difference while saving for my own vehicle and apartment. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable, I'd love the opportunity to work with you. Feel free to send me a message if you think I'd be a good fit!

"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."
