Booked by 1 family in Watertown, MA

Hello! My name is Sahra. I am a Boston native studying at Northeastern University. I offer child care, pet-care, and household services. I’ve been professionally babysitting for 4 years now. Prior to that I’ve worked at a preschool. I’ve also babysat for family members and family friends practically my whole life. I don’t have my drivers licenses, so picking kids up from school maybe a little difficult, but if the school is walking distance, I can certainly do that! I can also help with homework and tutoring (I currently tutor high school students). I’m also available to cook, clean, and run errands. Pet care - I have a cat of my own, so anything cat care I would love to help out with!

"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."
