Booked by 2 families in Ridgewood, NY

My name is Ashley I love to serve others, children, seniors, and pets! For Children: I have several years of experience in child care from toddlers to teenagers. I'm gentle, kind and fun. I like to get minds and bodies moving, I won't just put your child in front of a screen! I offer a wide range of engaging and educational activities including arts and crafts, games, nature walks, improve/drama, photography, and cooking. I'm happy to do homework help! I have a degree in computer science and can can tutor your child in math and coding. For Seniors: I can offer seniors companionship and help with basic tasks around the house like cooking and cleaning. With seniors I love to have long chats and hear life stories (I'm a patient listener!) , play card games/backgammon/chess, or take them on walks depending on mobility. For Animals: I primarily have experience caring for dogs, and can also care for cats. I take care of dogs that are small to large (larger dogs must be more friendly, but I don't mind a small dog with trust-issues). I can take dogs on long walks and to the park. I don't have a car but can escort to and from schools or appointments via walking, public transit, or Uber.

"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."
