Hello my name is Kalah. I am a 31 year old mother of 2. I have a Bachelors degree in biology and worked with children and adults with developmental, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities for 11 years prior to becoming a mother myself. I come from a military/law enforcement family, so I’m great with punctuality, organization, structure, and cleanliness but I’m also a creative who loves cooking, dancing/music, travel, and fashion. I have no age preference, as I work well with all ages. I am first aid/CPR/AED certified, BLS certified and have been a nanny for 14 years now.

For the past ten years, I've been privileged to provide dependable, personalized childcare to dozens of families. I enjoy getting to know each child’s unique personality and creating an engaging, safe environment until their parents come back. Parents appreciate my creative, friendly, and adaptable nature. I’m always tuned into behavioral cues from kids, and I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to make bath time/bed time go smoothly, win over kids with separation anxiety, and defuse toddler tantrums. I always follow parents’ preferred method of communication regarding your child's day and will happily send pictures and updates. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational activities. I am a medical student in my final year of medical school and have an undergraduate degree in neuroscience and Spanish. I am comfortable caring for up to four children of varying age groups, from infants to pre-teens and older. I am certified in CPR and Basic Life Support. I speak both English and Spanish, and I look forward to the possibility of becoming a trusted caregiver for your family.

She was wonderful with our 1 yr old son. She was kind, playful, understanding, and communicative. We would love to work with her again.

"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."
