Nurturing young minds is more than a job for me; it's a genuine passion. My previous babysitting experiences solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives, and I bring a year of experience caring for children aged 0-3 and 1-11. I am patient, calm, and friendly, and I follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games with children. I always prioritize clear communication with you, following your preferred method, whether it's a quick chat at pickup or regular updates via text. I am CPR and First Aid certified and I am comfortable with pets. I am happy to care for up to two children. I believe in creating a safe and fun environment where your little ones can thrive, and I look forward to the opportunity to get to know 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."
