Booked by 1 family in Needham, MA

I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. Being that I come from a large family, I naturally stepped into the role of a caregiver early on. Beyond that, I’ve actively cared for my nieces and nephews, building a strong foundation in child care. My experience has taught me patience, adaptability, and the importance of creating a safe, nurturing environment for children to thrive. Whether it’s assisting with homework, planning engaging activities, preparing meals, or maintaining household routines, I take pride in ensuring kids feel supported and valued. I’m also skilled at balancing structure with fun, understanding the unique needs of children at different developmental stages. From soothing infants to mentoring teens, I’ve learned to tailor my approach to each child’s personality and needs. I have a natural ability to connect with people of all ages, which extends to seniors and even pets, having provided companionship and assistance for older family members and cared for household pets. My reliability, strong work ethic, and passion for caregiving make me a great fit for any family seeking a dependable and compassionate helper.

Hi, I’m Ayanna! I’m a caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with children and pets. I’ve had the privilege of supporting families by caring for children ranging in age from newborns to teenagers (up to age 14), adapting my approach to meet each child’s unique developmental needs. My background includes everything from infant care and sleep routines to homework help, creative play, and emotional support. I have a bachelor's in Psychology and I’m currently pursuing a Master's in education. I am also trained and certified by the American Red Cross in CPR, First Aid, and Advanced Child Care—ensuring that safety and preparedness are always a priority in my care. In addition to working with children, I have extensive experience caring for pets, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I bring the same level of attentiveness and warmth to animal care as I do to childcare. Above all, I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive and families feel supported.

"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."
