Natasha $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Tasha , and I’m currently a lead teacher . I’m offering childcare, senior care, and household services. I’ve been babysitting newborns, infants, toddlers, and even twins since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have ranged from driving to and from school to engaging in crafts, tutoring, and even dance lessons. In addition to my babysitting experience, I also work as a household assistant. I can cook, clean, and run errands. I’ve been a caretaker for my own grandparents, so I’m comfortable with senior care. I can assist with cooking, driving to appointments, or completing other tasks. (I’m also a great bridge partner!)

Sindri $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Sindri (Sin-dree), I am 23 and natural creative as well as a Certified Holistic Health Professional. I have a passion for wellness and a balanced approach to life. I love nature, animals and expressing my creativity in various forms - mostly in the kitchen these days. A little more about my background… I owned a meal prepping/personal chef service company called Vital Bowls. I have also worked multiple office management jobs, and sales related jobs. However - being I am expecting my first little one to enter the world soon, I am looking to get back to what I am best at. I am passionate about working with kids of all ages and adapting to ways that reflect the morals of the parents, and finding ways that fit the child’s individual needs. I have experience homeschooling, Montessori teaching, unschooling and traditional schooling. I love encouraging creativity and will always find ways to be away from the screens and hands on with the kids I am working with. I nannied full time for a family of 4 kids, ages 6, 4, 2, and 1 that were homeschooled. When working with them, I had also taken on household responsibilities most big household tasks like cleaning, laundry and cooking - while still always prioritizing nurturing the kids development through various in home and out of home activities. I am open to all types of opportunities and would love to chat and see if it’s a good mutual fit!

"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."
