Booked by 2 families in Wakefield, MA

⸻ Hi! My name is Tiara, and I’m offering child care, senior care, and household support services. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—including twins. My responsibilities have included school drop-offs and pick-ups, arts and crafts, tutoring, meal preparation, and even helping with dance lessons. In addition to childcare, I work as a household assistant and am happy to help with cooking, cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I also have hands-on experience caring for my own grandparents and am comfortable assisting with senior care needs such as meal preparation, transportation to appointments, and companionship.

“Tiara was great! My toddler felt comfortable going right to her. She was professional and made sure my toddler had a busy, fun day when daycare was cancelled. ”

"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."
