Hi, my name is Solana. I currently attend Fairleigh Dickinson and I’m offering my services while on break from school. I am an experienced and dependable babysitter with over six years of hands-on childcare experience caring for children of various ages. Throughout the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of children’s needs, routines, and personalities, allowing me to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I’m known for being patient, attentive, and trustworthy, with a natural ability to connect with children and make them feel comfortable and supported. I take pride in being reliable and responsible, ensuring parents feel confident and at ease when their children are in my care. I’m skilled in maintaining daily schedules, preparing meals, assisting with homework, and organizing fun, age-appropriate activities that encourage learning and creativity. My experience has taught me how to handle challenging situations calmly, communicate effectively with both children and parents, and adapt to each family’s unique needs. Babysitting isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m committed to providing high-quality care that supports both children’s growth and parents’ peace of mind.

My name is Elizabeth, and I am a dedicated, compassionate caregiver with many years of hands-on experience supporting elderly and disabled clients. As a young senior and a proud grandmother of two adorable children, caregiving comes very naturally to me. I am nurturing, patient, and attentive, and I truly enjoy providing comfort and support to those who need it most. Throughout my career, I have assisted 5–7 elderly and disabled clients with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility support. I am experienced in monitoring and documenting vital signs, observing changes in a client’s condition, and reporting updates to healthcare providers to ensure the best possible care. I also take pride in maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment for every client I serve. I bring strong skills in medication administration, vital sign monitoring, first aid, and electronic health record systems. On a personal level, I am known for my patience, empathy, excellent communication, active listening, and problem-solving skills. I work well independently and as part of a team, and I am committed to treating every client with dignity, respect, and kindness. I believe these qualities make me an excellent fit and I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and heart to 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."
