Booked by 1 family in Long Island City, NY

Hi there! I'm Tessa. I grew up in the Bay Area after moving from New York City with my family. I went to college in Arizona and now work as a creative product photographer, which has allowed me to travel all over the world and gather some amazing experiences. When I'm back in New York, I love spending my time babysitting and providing caretaking services. I’m CPR certified and have experience caring for kids of all ages, from newborns to school-aged children, including twins and kids with special needs. I’m also knowledgeable in handling allergies and know how to use an EpiPen. I enjoy cooking meals, doing arts and crafts, tutoring, taking kids to and from school, and planning fun outdoor activities. Being active and creative, I love making each day exciting and safe for the kids I look after. Besides child care, I also offer pet care and non-health related senior care. I’ve been a caretaker for my grandparents and other seniors, helping with daily activities, cleaning their homes, cooking, driving to appointments, and running errands. I'm an animal lover and have experience with all kinds of pets—dogs, cats, chickens, and hamsters. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm available for last-minute babysitting and can adapt to irregular hours. Feel free to reach out! I’d love to chat about how I can support your family.

I like participating in outdoor activities and taking long walks at the park. I love the site of a child smiling. I have experience with children from the age of 3 weeks and above. I'm able to multitask and have no problem feeding, bathing, changing, and going to doctor's appointments. In addition to that I'm able to deal with fevers and caring for an ill child. My experience with children at a very young age. I've worked in a day care and have been able to gain so much patience and understanding of a child's needs and dealing with a noisy environment and the ability to settle things ****policies***** Any cancellations less then 48 hours will be charged a 75% off of the hours booked, including if the job has already started I book my schedule 2-3 weeks in advance And I expect to be paid for the entire booking

“Excellent service ”

"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."
