I'd describe my personality as affable, adaptable, and kind. I'm a very easy person to talk to and get along with. I have a personality that people kinda grasp too. I love making people feel comfortable and confident around me. I like working with kids because I get to be there to witness the growth in through their childhood, to build connections and teach lesson. I've always had a passion for working with kids since I was young. I love to see the type of person they grow to be as they develop a personality of their on. I started working with kids when right after high school. After graduating I went straight into working at a day care. I will be pursuing early childhood education in school. In my spare time, I like to draw, paint, pottery. Anything that involves art are things I do on my spare time. My skills include patience, communication and compassion.

Adedapo $30 per hour for 1 child

love being a nanny because caring for children comes naturally to me. I enjoy creating a warm, safe, and loving environment where babies and kids feel secure. As a mother to a 4-month-old, I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and consistency. It gives me joy to support families and to provide the same quality of care I give my own child. I have hands-on experience caring for infants through raising my own baby, including feeding, diaper changes, soothing, sleep routines, tummy time, and monitoring developmental milestones. I have CPR or First Aid training,

"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."
