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.

"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."
