Natalie $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Natalie, and I’m currently studying business at Elon University. I am offering child care, pet care, tutoring, and household services. I’ve been caring for children for years through babysitting younger family members and coaching local youth cheer and dance camps. I have experience working with children of different ages and love creating a fun, positive, and safe environment where they can learn and grow. As a tutor for the past four years, I’ve enjoyed helping students build confidence, improve their academic skills, and develop strong study habits, and I’d love to bring that same support to your family. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with light housekeeping, meal prep, laundry, organizing, errands, and pet care. I’m reliable, patient, and organized, and I always strive to make life a little easier for the families I work with. Whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside, working on homework, or simply keeping a routine running smoothly, I’m committed to providing attentive, dependable care that parents can trust. I look forward to getting to know your family!

"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."
