Sofia $25 per hour for 1 child

Working with children has been a meaningful part of my life for the past 7 years, and it's something I genuinely love and feel passionate about. I focus on building trust with both children and parents, and I always aim to create a calm, nurturing, and safe environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I am CPR and First Aid trained. I previously worked at Primrose School, where I gained valuable experience in early childhood development and supporting children's social and emotional growth. Outside of work, I am currently in school studying sonography, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and understanding of health and safety. I love incorporating crafts, reading, outdoor play, and hands on activities into my time with children.

"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."
