Ava $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated college student and Certified Nursing Assistant with hands-on experience in healthcare, customer service, and childcare. I currently work in an assisted living facility, where I provide direct patient care, assist residents with daily living activities, perform basic wound care, and respond effectively in fast-paced situations as part of a healthcare team. I also have several years of self-employed childcare experience, which strengthened my patience, decision-making, communication, and leadership skills. Additionally, my experience as a retail Guest Advocate helped me develop strong customer service abilities, cash handling skills, organization, and attention to detail. I am actively involved in community service, including volunteering with Partners for World Health, which has reinforced my commitment to helping others. Through my education, certifications, and work experiences, I have become dependable, motivated, and eager to continue learning, growing, and contributing meaningfully within the healthcare field in supportive, compassionate, and collaborative care environments.

"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."
