Kiara $25 per hour for 1 child

I’m Kiara, a compassionate, high-energy caregiver dedicated to creating a safe, stimulating, and joyful environment where children can learn, play, and thrive. ​My foundation in childcare runs deep: as the eldest, I played a key hands-on role in raising my two younger siblings from my early teenage years. That experience taught me the real-world essentials of childcare; from managing dynamic daily routines, meal prep, and bedtime transitions to staying calm under pressure and offering patient, supportive guidance at every stage of growth. ​Children are naturally curious, and I thrive on nurturing that trait through interactive storytelling, creative arts, outdoor movement, and hands-on learning activities. Whether it’s assisting with homework, guiding imaginative play, or managing daily schedules, my priority is ensuring your kids feel secure, valued, and genuinely engaged.

"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."
