I’m a responsible and caring babysitter who truly enjoys helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and positive environment. I love to paint, read, and listen to violin music—activities I often share with kids to inspire their creativity and imagination. Families can count on me to be patient, dependable, and engaging. I take pride in creating a warm and nurturing atmosphere where children feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also great with pets, infants, and seniors, and I bring the same level of patience, kindness, and attention to everyone I care for, making me a trustworthy fit for families of all ages and needs.

"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."
