Addison $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Architecture at Columbia University. I babysat regularly from elementary through middle school for families in my Texas hometown, caring for kids of all ages, and continued to occasionally babysit during college. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. I'm great at keeping children engaged with creative activities (drawing, building, crafts; some of the perks of being a designer!), helping with homework, and sticking to whatever routines or rules parents set. I'm comfortable handling meals, bedtime, bath time, and the everyday chaos that comes with kids. I'm also happy to help tidy up so you come home to a calm house. Beyond babysitting, I'm responsible, communicative, and easy to reach. I'll always send updates if you'd like them, and I take safety seriously. I'm a non-smoker and get around the city easily by subway, so I can come to you anywhere in NYC. I'd love to meet 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."
