Temi $22 per hour for 1 child

I am a compassionate and dependable caregiver with many years of experience supporting children from infancy through their teenage years. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and encouraging environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and able to grow. Families often describe me as patient, kindhearted, and very attentive. I understand that every child is unique, so I take time to learn their personalities, routines, and needs. Whether helping with homework, preparing meals, engaging in creative activities, or simply providing a caring presence, I aim to make each child feel valued and supported. My experience caring for children has taught me the importance of patience, clear communication, and encouragement. I work closely with parents to follow household routines and expectations while providing dependable care they can trust. Above all, I believe that children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and supported. I take pride in being someone families can rely on to provide both responsible supervision and genuine care.

Ahnika $19 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Ahnika, and I am a CPR-certified nursing student at Caldwell University with three years of childcare experience. Before becoming a babysitter, I worked part-time as a teacher, where I independently managed a classroom of 20-25 students. This experience strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to create a safe, structured, and positive environment for children. I also have experience caring for infants, including changing diapers, preparing bottles and meals, following feeding and bedtime schedules, and comforting children when needed. I understand how important it is to carefully follow each family's routines and instructions. I am attentive, dependable, trustworthy, and punctual. I am also comfortable caring for families with pets. My goal is to make sure your children feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to support your family!

"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."
