I’m 26, from Northern California, and recently left my law office job to focus more on school. I love reading and have always been drawn to good stories, honest conversations, and anything that makes me laugh. I’d describe myself as thoughtful, hardworking, and a little sarcastic in the best way. Right now, I’m focused on classes, personal growth, and figuring out what comes next.

I bring a unique combination of nurturing experience and practical skills that make me a reliable, compassionate caregiver across multiple areas—whether caring for children, homes, or pets. As a mother, I understand the profound responsibility of caring for those who depend on us. I’ve worked as a babysitter, tutor, teacher, and mentor, giving me deep insight into child development, education, and creating safe, engaging environments where young people thrive. I’m patient and creative, skilled at adapting to different learning styles and personality types. My background in the healing arts—including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, yoga, and coaching—has taught me to approach caregiving holistically. I’m attuned to both physical and emotional wellbeing, and I bring a calming, grounded presence to any situation. These skills make me especially effective at supporting wellness, managing stress, and creating peaceful environments. When it comes to household management, I have over 20 years of experience caring for properties, including 14 years as a homeowner and ongoing management of my parents’ homes. I’m detail-oriented and take genuine pride in maintaining spaces that are clean, organized, and welcoming. I’m also trained in energetic space clearing—a practice I’ve been developing for eight years—and I’m excited to bring this much-needed skill to house sitting. My excellent reviews as an Airbnb guest reflect my respect for others’ homes and my understanding of what makes a space feel truly cared for. While I’ve never owned a dog myself, I’ve always loved them and have regularly pet-sat and walked dogs for friends over the years. I’m comfortable with their needs, routines, and quirks, and I genuinely enjoy their company. What sets me apart is my mission-oriented approach: I don’t just complete tasks—I care about the people, animals, and spaces entrusted to me. I’m flexible and adapt easily to changing needs. I’m also an excellent communicator, keeping families informed and ensuring everyone feels heard. Above all, I’m compassionate and caring. Whether I’m supporting a family, maintaining a home, or walking a beloved pet, my role is to bring peace of mind, reliability, and genuine warmth to every interaction.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

"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."
