Caron $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My journey in childcare began in high school when I helped at my aunt’s daycare, and I’ve been dedicated to working with children ever since. For 7 years, I worked with the YMCA as both a counselor and Assistant Director, supporting children ages 5–12 in after school and summer camp programs. I also gained hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers in the YMCA daycare. I now serve as a substitute teacher with Boston Public Schools while completing my BA in Early Education & Care in Inclusive Settings. This role has strengthened my ability to adapt to different classrooms, support diverse learners, and build meaningful connections with children of all ages. As a mom myself, I understand the importance of finding someone you can truly trust with your little ones. Families describe me as fun, empathetic, and creative. I love making learning and play engaging, and I take pride in ensuring every child feels safe, supported, and valued. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to meet your family’s needs.

"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."
