Izzy $15 per hour for 1 child

I have experience babysitting as well as some dog/ cat sitting. I have mainly worked with school-aged children, usually between 5-10 years of age, but I have watched younger children, no infants. I am a 19-year-old sophomore at Michigan State majoring in Kinesiology, currently living in my sorority house. I do have a car, so I would be able to do any pick ups or drop offs needed. I am a very outgoing and friendly person who strives to make people feel seen and have their needs met. I love to get sweet treats, hang out with friends, and watch movies! I also have experience lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons to children ages 4-11, as well as an FBI safety background check.

"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."
