Dayanara $30 per hour for 1 child

Hello my name is Dayanara, as a baby sitter and care giver i take pride in creating an environment where the essence of trust is provided. With being able to care for such precious individuals comes the act of being responsible and becoming a part of the family in a sense. Ever since i was a little girl I’ve always gravitated towards children and had a special spark with them. I am experienced with infants all the way to teens. Responsibilities throughout my journey have included driving to/ from school, crafts, tutoring, dance lessons, meal prepping and have even partaking in family vacations. I am certified in CPR and i am Bilingual in both English and Spanish. With all the responsibilities that play a part i also make sure to incorporate a very friendly, kind and energetic environment for the children. I am open and willing to do chores around the house as well as cooking. Working with family pets is not an issue.

Hi! I’m Ja’Lea, and if there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that caring for children is something I genuinely love. I’ve been a preschool teacher assistant for the past three years, and every day reminds me why I chose this field. Watching children learn new skills, celebrate little accomplishments, and grow into their own personalities is one of the most rewarding parts of my job. I truly can’t imagine doing anything else. In addition to working in a preschool, I also work as a behavioral therapist for children with autism. This role has given me valuable experience supporting children with a wide range of needs while strengthening my patience, communication, and ability to adapt to each child’s unique personality and learning style. Working with these incredible children has been one of the most meaningful parts of my career, and they truly hold a special place in my heart. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, heard, encouraged, and free to have fun. I’m very hands-on and love getting involved in whatever excites them—whether that’s dancing to Danny Go!, coloring, reading stories, building with blocks, playing imaginative games, or exploring fun, age-appropriate activities. I don’t believe in simply “watching” children; I enjoy interacting with them, helping them learn, and making sure they have a great time while they’re in my care. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for children with a variety of needs and daily routines. I’m comfortable with diaper changes, bathing or shower assistance, helping with brushing teeth, meal and snack times, and keeping children engaged throughout the day. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, clear communication, and creating a structured environment where children feel comfortable and confident. Parents can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and someone who treats every child with the same kindness, respect, and care that I would want for my own family. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind, knowing their child is not only safe, but genuinely cared for, having fun, and in the hands of someone who truly loves what they do. I look forward to meeting your family and creating a positive, trusting relationship with both you and your little one!

“Ja’Lea was great to work with. Punctual. Easy to communicate with. My son had a great experience. ”

"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."
