I’ve been caring for children since I was twelve years old, and with over 25 years of experience, I’ve had the joy of working with infants, toddlers, and children up to their teenage years. Babysitting has always been more than just a job for me — it’s something I truly love. I’m known for being patient, loving, and dependable. I always strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and happy. Whether it’s reading stories, helping with meals, keeping up with housework, or maintaining a consistent routine, I’m happy to help with whatever is needed to make your day easier. I have open availability and am flexible with my schedule — I can work days, evenings, or overnight as needed. While I currently don’t drive, transportation will not be an issue, and I always make sure to arrive on time and ready to work. I would be grateful for the opportunity to care for your children and support your family’s needs. Thank you for considering me for this position — I’d love to meet and talk more about how I can help. [removed] feel free to text me first then call me so we can talk and of course message me too!

Imani $33 per hour for 1 child

I have over 13 years of hands-on childcare experience, from working as a lead infant teacher in a daycare, to nannying for families, and most recently running my own in-home daycare for infants through age 3. Over the years, I’ve built a strong foundation in early childhood development and know the importance of helping little ones hit every milestone—whether it’s tummy time, rolling over, fine motor skills, or language and cognitive growth. What sets me apart is that I view my role as more than just a nanny—I see myself as a teacher and partner in your child’s development. I love creating opportunities for learning through play, reading, and hands-on activities that not only keep children engaged, but also support their growth socially, emotionally, and academically. I’m also very outgoing and adaptable, and I make it a priority to truly cater to the parents’ needs. I understand how important communication, consistency, and trust are in this role, and I strive to make sure families feel supported in every way. Beyond childcare, I’m skilled in light housekeeping, laundry, and meal preparation, which helps the household run smoothly day to day. I am CPR/First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, and have my own reliable transportation. Families I’ve worked with often describe me as nurturing, reliable, and patient, but also energetic and fun—someone who brings positivity into the home while maintaining structure. Caregiving isn’t just a career for me, it’s a calling. I’m passionate about guiding children, supporting families, and creating a safe, loving, and enriching environment where little ones can thrive.

"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."
