I bring over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience, having babysat for multiple families and cared for children of various ages.

I’m patient, attentive, and reliable, with a strong focus on creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment.

Hey there. My name is Tashar and I’m currently a Junior at UMASS Lowell where I take classes on Monday and Wednesday but fully available rest of the days at anytime to be there for your loved ones.. I am offering child care and household services. I enjoy and love being a babysitter since I have been doing it since I was 17 with my siblings and other families as well. I have been both a nanny and a babysitter for 4 years now and I love and enjoy taking care and looking after little ones. I have worked with babies of different age groups and I love what I do because it corresponds to what I go to school for. Besides that, I’m compassionate about seniors and I have worked with them part time in nursing homes and at their place of residence. I love running errands, light housekeeping and cleaning , driving and spending time with people I’m taking care of. I’m allergic to cats but welcome to work with dogs.

"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."
