Levoin $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Levoin 😊 I’ve been working with kids for 5+ years, mostly toddlers and preschoolers, and I also have some experience with infants. I really enjoy being around kids and creating a fun, safe space for them. I’m very patient, reliable, and love doing things like crafts, movies, games, and outdoor play. I’m comfortable with routines like meals, bedtime, and keeping things on track. Whether you need a date night sitter or occasional help, I’d love to help out 🤍 I get off from my full time job 3:30 the latest so anytime after that I’m available too!

Rukia $22 per hour for 1 child

I have over a decade of hands-on childcare experience, beginning in my own household as the oldest of six siblings. From the age of ten, I naturally stepped into a caregiving role, assisting with daily routines, school preparation, meals, and playtime. One of my most formative experiences has been caring for my younger brother, who is autistic. Supporting him has taught me patience, adaptability, and the ability to manage challenging behaviors while creating a nurturing and safe environment. Beyond my immediate family, I have been an active caregiver for my nieces and nephews, including caring for my sister’s newborn twins from birth through their toddler years. This experience provided me with valuable knowledge in handling infants—bottle feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, and developmental milestones—while balancing the needs of two children at once. Most recently, I worked as a paid nanny for my sister’s two-year-old son. My responsibilities included preparing meals, organizing educational play, maintaining consistent routines, and ensuring his safety and well-being throughout the day. This official nanny role gave me professional-level experience in managing the needs of a curious and energetic toddler. I cared for him until his recent transition into preschool. Altogether, my childcare background spans infants, toddlers, school-aged children, and children with special needs. I bring reliability, warmth, and a strong sense of responsibility to every child I care for, along with the ability to adapt to each child’s unique personality and developmental stage.

"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."
