Avital $25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 2 families in Long Island City, NY

I’ve been involved with child care and educational extracurriculars since high school, from camp counseling to coaching robotics. I’m currently studying Interactive Media Arts at NYU, with additional coursework in Studio Art, Journalism, and Computer Science, blending my love for inquiry, storytelling, and media arts. Along the way, I’ve tutored math and am comfortable adding language arts, science, and history subjects to my repertoire. When I babysit, my goal is to ensure children have fun in immersing experience. This builds everyday learning--whether through imaginative play or tackling a skill they thought was out of reach. I love art projects and hands-on activities, and I’ve even got some colorful materials ready for crafting adventures! Plus, I’m always up for getting on the floor to explore toys and trinkets with as much enthusiasm as they do. I’m also a pet lover, comfortable with cats and a proud dog mom to a Chihuahua mix. Whether it’s an afternoon of creativity or helping with homework, I strive to create a positive, engaging experience for every child I work with.

"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."
