Karen $18 per hour for 1 child

I have experience with all ages of children and working with the senior population as well. I love to immerse myself into the world of the "littles" and see things through their eyes. It is amazing to watch them learn and grow when you become united in their daily activities. With the senior population, I love listening to their stories and letting them enjoy bringing their past experiences into any present situations we are currently enjoying. I also have experience with those that have memory issues and understand how to help them through their frustrations when needed.

Booked by 1 family in Shirley, MA

I have taken care of my younger family members between the ages of newborn and 5 years old. I also have a loving puppy at home that I take care of, if an animal also needs to be catered to. I love spending time with kids and playing around! On top of all the fun with kids and animals, I love to clean. I manage to keep my home and my apartment for college maintained and clean. I am looking forward to spending time with kids to continue my love for caretaking. I also volunteer/help teach at a public school. I help in a 1st grade classroom, so if your kid may need help with, I am also open to helping with.

“Danyka took amazing care of our 14 month old twin boys! She was great at following their schedule, guiding them through lunch time, playing with their toys, and taking them for walks. She was always very diligent in keeping watch and making sure they were safe, following hungry and sleepy cues, and I would have her watch them again anytime. ”

"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."
