Denise $23 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Denise - a seasoned caregiver with years of experience caring for 10+ nieces and nephews, my own daughter (now off to college 🎓) and countless neighborhood children. With a bit of empty nest syndrome, I’m excited to get back to what I love most: helping kids feel safe and happy while parents enjoy some well-deserved time to themselves. I'm reliable, patient, fun and believe that great childcare should be stress-free for everyone (and yes, I’ve had lots of practice 😉).

Estella $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Estella and I am a young adult who loves working with kids, and I am thrilled by the thought of helping a family in need of extra set of hands for their children. Throughout the course of my life, I have had a passion for early child development and the importance for emotional regulation in children. I decided to learn about this passion through internships at early education facilities such as Montessori schools and play based learning institutions, working with children ages 2 to 5 in classroom settings. Working in these environments taught be professionalism, a responsible work ethic, and a genuine love for helping families. I am a reliable, patient, and energetic caregiver who truly enjoys providing support for children's growth by leading educational safe environment's where they can thrive. My youthful energy makes it easy for me to connect with children while staying professional, creating a dependable and fun relationship between parents, children and myself. Alongside providing a safe learning environment, I also specialize in helping kids emotionally communicate and regulate their emotions with therapeutic techniques. Through my experience in internships I worked one on one with children who had attention deficits, autism, adhd, and developmental delays which helped me understand that every child has individual needs when it comes to emotional support. I'm attentive to each child's induvial needs, committed to maintaining their routines, and and always willing to offer whatever support I can for the parents. Whether that's a scheduled nap time, planning fun activities, helping with homework, or simply being level headed and calm with the task at hand. I love working with kids because they are the future and it is our job as adults to help shape them into respectable, kind, and smart people so they can build a better tomorrow. I hope that I am able to support your family and make your life easier.

"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."
