Tanika $25 per hour for 1 child

I am a dependable, compassionate, and attentive caregiver with experience supporting children, seniors, pets, and household needs. My approach is centered on safety, patience, clear communication, and creating a positive, comfortable environment for those in my care. With children, I enjoy engaging them through age-appropriate activities, helping with routines, assisting with homework, and providing attentive supervision. I understand the importance of consistency, encouragement, and building trust with both children and parents. In senior care, I am patient, respectful, and focused on preserving dignity and independence. I can assist with companionship, meal preparation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, transportation support, and daily living activities as needed. I don’t not have experience caring for pets, however I understand that pets are family members and am willing to learn. Beyond caregiving, I am happy to assist with household services such as light cleaning, laundry, organizing, meal preparation, grocery shopping, and running errands. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and proactive in helping a household run smoothly. Families and clients often appreciate my strong work ethic, punctuality, adaptability, and calm demeanor. I am a good listener, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy helping others. My goal is always to provide safe, dependable, and compassionate care while giving families peace of mind. I have two kids of my own ages 17 and 9 girl and boy so I am very aware, caring loving and nurturing. I also have CPR/ first aid

"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."
